Well I’m not surprised that I never made good on my promise to myself to post all my favorite photos of 2010 before the year ended. I also never posted all those photos from my parents’ lives in Africa. Oh well. Some day, I will. But for now, I am immersed in a new project: scanning all my old negatives from the second half of the first decade of the third millennium. I will soon share with you these 35mm film relics of my misguided early 20s, where I spent my time romping in the hills, drinking wine and scribbling and singing and dancing and generally avoiding all real world responsibility in favor of pursuing a “higher”, um, pursuit. Which, of course, never really panned out the way I imagined … which led to the abandonment of my poetic nature in order to become a cold hard scientist. Though it was refreshing for a while to spend my days studying numbers and elements and making calculation after calculation, that old creative force bubbled up and brewed ever so strongly inside of me until I could not fight it anymore and I created the ultimate creation (with some help, of course): a human life. And in this new life I have found the perfect balance of science and art.
