Elektrik Retrospective

For the past few days, we’ve been doing an Elektrik Zoo Retrospective of words and pictures over on Examiner.com. My remit is to do one post a day. Each post should consist of re-posting a Photo Poem from JosephNils Blog and creating a Slide Show with original captions. I’ve been feeling my way through the format.

I like to consume media in small satisfying bytes. I guess that’s partly why we’re creating a lot of short form stuff right now, and that seems right for us. “Ms. Carmella” is 5 minutes. It can be stand alone or part of a series about growing old in America. Or Religion. Or, it could be animated. “Destiny” is the longest thing we’ve done in a long, long time. And, Patrick is cursing at how long it’s taking. “It’s so us!” He stomps around.”

We are preparing for an extended trip to the west coast in April. That’s been interesting planning. Driving has become very expensive. I’m calling Amtrak tomorrow to see if they can cut us a deal. What’s weird is that I think it would be super cheap to fly. That just does not make sense. Note to self: ask Amtrak people why flying is cheaper.
