I added some more photos to the project formerly known as Just Look Around. Honestly, I'm not sure if I should keep going with this project; if I've reached the end of it and need to move on to something else. I started this in 2008, when I finished grad school and moved back to the DC area. I felt a bit lost and very ambivalent about my surroundings. It's a documentary of a place but these are also documents of my conflicting feelings about what I'm looking at.
The problem is, what I'm working on now doesn't feel particularly cohesive. Palimpsest, Round the Decay, and the Light series are novellas in my mind. There's a certain through line to all of them. They represent complete stories to me. Just Look Around feels more like a collection of short stories, if not vignettes.
It might be time to move on. Either that or I need to reevaluate how and why I'm shooting what I'm shooting. Or, maybe I should just see where this takes me and stop worrying so much.
