process writing
This is what my writing becomes when editing happens. I am using the template that I mentioned earlier and what I’m intrigued by is the visual noise, the lines, the thinking again outside of the frame of the text, that so obviously goes on here. This thinking again is not a secondary repetition of the same, but is a new thinking, a thinking of the work and idea as a thinking-again-within-a-first-thinking. A more grounded thinking that gets doubled by the very materiality of writing with keyboard and fountain pen.

From there I can blog them, turn them into slideshows, and of course find other’s photos. I can even participate in creative collaborations. Since most of my photos have specific creative commons rights attached to them, others can use them too. Remember what is stenciled across your editing screen (you did do that didn’t you?), the photos stay as single photos even though they are now tagged by me and others, turn up in my blog, form archives, slideshows, and so on. Their granularity is not broken through publication. The same applies for video and audio. This is what is meant by user generated content, which does not just mean a mountain of wannabe’s pumping out their content (a loud shout of “me!”) but it is also a willingness to share this and to rework and build with each other’s material.
