Chop wood, carry water

I set the kitchen timer to one hour so I don't have to worry about looking at a clock and thinking about the time. Then I found myself looking at the in box in my office, overflowing with papers I haven't filed. I picked up the top one, a receipt for a rental from Samy's camera. Thrashed it. Then shredded a credit card offer. THen filed all model releases, emptied a couple of folders, found an article from a martial artist about learning and read it.

The last page of the article contained the gem. In a few paragraphs it explained the principles of learning refined in music practice, which may be applied in learning a martial art and other kind of training.

I stopped reading the paper, filed it an started looking at some old shoots on my backup hard drive. Exported and posted two sets of photos - one for a dance client and one for a friend.

The timer rang, and I continued the flow of actions.

Stumbled upon three photographs from an old shoot, retouched them and posted them on flickr.

An image flashed through my mind and I spent 10 minutes creating it.
