Thursday and another few residents are rolling in and we cannot pay too much attention as we are knee deep in the almost thereness of our event. I have spent all day shooting my footage, which is to say that I have been exploring. I started on Wednesday but only began in the evening. I noticed a really beautiful phenomenon out the back windows at sunset and vowed today to take advantage of it-, which I have. I have gotten lost all day in the minutia of this building. Spending much time up on the third floor really looking at what’s up there. I have been switching back and forth between macro and 60mm functions on lens to capture what I find. I am teaching myself about my lens and about what I am seeing at the same time, which is really really one of those points where I feel free. To be absorbed in the moment and having all receptors open and on full. It is a beautifully warm and sunny day that blends into evening and allows an interestingly slow and calm view of the landscape out back of Elsewhere. Things are occurring without my personal involvement, waiting for my involvement in some way, and in some ways not caring for that moment’s readiness.
