Make art from the ordinary, from what’s close to you. Shoot what you love. 
- This was a quick shot, taken at my opening at Kai Lin Gallery Oct 2011.
- Start close in,
- don’t take the second step
- or the third,
- start with the first
- thing
- close in,
- the step you don’t want to take.
- Start with
- the ground
- you know,
- the pale ground
- beneath your feet,
- your own
- way of starting
- the conversation.
- Start with your own
- question,
- give up on other
- people’s questions,
- don’t let them
- smother something
- simple.
- To find
- another’s voice
- follow
- your own voice,
- wait until
- that voice
- becomes a
- private ear
- listening
- to another.
- Start right now
- take a small step
- you can call your own
- don’t follow
- someone else’s
- heroics, be humble
- and focused,
- start close in,
- don’t mistake
- that other
- for your own.
- Start close in,
- don’t take the second step
- or the third,
- start with the first
- thing
- close in,
- the step you don’t want to take.
