Long Silence

I’ve not said much in public for a while, primarily because I’ve been busy trying to get my head together. This is my last semester of coursework for my Ph.D., and there have been many projects claiming my attention. There’s a potential book chapter on photographic research (I just started), a review of a book on Paul Ricoeur (I just finished), a research proposal (I have no clue what I want to write) and a paper on Samuel F.B. Morse (I’m really excited about).

Then there’s the matter of getting set up to do exams. I don’t really have any anxiety about that. I feel as if I’ve been prepping for those for years now. There are only a few more hoops to jump through. I feel pretty relaxed.

I started this blog a long time ago to write my way through ideas, and somewhere along the line I stopped using it for that. I’m not sure why. I’m going to try some different experiments in organizing my projects, and I may manage to write about it here. Or not. I’m not sure at this point. All I know is that those long dreadful farewells retiring blogs, or the whole “hiatus” thing never made that much sense to me. It always made more sense just to write when I felt like it. It seems really strange to me that the “not feeling like it” has lasted this long.
