Hallo Doug
I agree _not a series_ and _not a series, exactly_ even better
There are I suppose series here, repetitions: the bus depot at the
Malekoff in St Ives, and variations; Barnoon Hill on to the harbour and
the bay beyond, and variations; the bar from st agnes towards the gugh,
and variations; and then break outs where I do other things
Generally the repetitions are the things that were easy to do - out the
window, waiting for the bus. St Agnes offers easier targets but not easier
subjects than the bar. That's a bit of a hike; but it is worth it.
Periglis, where I stay, is just too damn big for detailed observation of
daily changes
but maybe if one were trying to find series there would be other ways of
tracing them; and you are pointing to some of those; and I find that
useful
I am having to think about such matters to bring an editorial order
I am certainly glad that they become more and not less interesting as you
see more!
I cannot see my way to having a book of them all in the near future; and I
do like a book, though longer term a web set much as cris suggested might
be good; but if I can get a book, then another...
I'll plough on then
i shall look newly at the next on my list or the one after that tomorrow
and see how i feel; i'll send something
yes - pardon me if i have said this, but it reflects back on what you have
said about the way they work together... it occurred to me, and i
dismissed it as hubristic, but it still went on occurring to me, to
reflect upon Paul Cezanne picturing Montagne Sainte-Victoire over and over
Hubris shouldn't come into it. I'm not doing what he did. Not trying to. I
shouldn't think like that, because I am taking the attempt he was making,
perhaps an undefined attempt, as, for me, exemplary.
The nearest I can come to it is to see him trying over and over to really
see what is there being seen, a benign struggle between sense and brain
AND in another analysis simultaneously between sense + brain on one side
and will
It was proposed to me as a child that I should imitate Jesus of Nazareth.
I think I prefer to take my lead from M Cezanne
