A Daily Diary

The idea of keeping a daily account of anything is a great concept. Personal journals are something that grab my attention and are something I consider to be of great importance. Many artists find inspiration from a collection of thoughts and ideas, often times journals are like a gold mine filled with them.

Video diaries are something we explored recently in class. I am glad we covered this area, because I believe that they hold so much value, both physically and aesthetically. In Jonas Mekas' diary, we got to actually accompany him on a Monday morning walk through a field with his dogs. I thought it was a unique experience because I always wondered what the morning sun rise looks like in Europe...

... Anyway, people, keep journals, they are massive help and inspiration to us all.
