That space between language and image is I think where truth actually is. It’s not in the finished image. Something about this practice gets there for me.

I know these journal entries aren’t photography barely at all. And there’s something freeing in that.

A modified version of morning pages combined with a freewriting prompting, has been part of my creative practice for years as a commercial photographer. Evoloving this practice to include Midjourney and Generative Art has helped me find the “play” iin GenAI.
