I'm good! I've got a bunch of goals for digitally categorizing my research, some of which are going to be methodologically important for the diss, and others are for aesthetic or like, future pedagogy purposes.

One of the things I'm going to be doing is taking these 'architectural detail' photos in the places I'm living, in order to think about how artists interact with the physical spaces around them/how that impacts their representations of physical spaces. But I also wanted something that would allow me to talk about the other random shit I'll be seeing and thinking about. So I decided to just build myself a website to function kind of as a portfolio, kind of as a blog, and mainly as a platform to organize and effectively tag images so that I can sort them and interact with them in different ways as my research evolves.

I used to post a decent amount of longer-form prose about my research on Tumblr but I didn't really love the experience, and wasn't getting the response(s) I necessarily wanted, which is tough on a platform that's more explicitly set up for fostering and encouraging interaction, so I am hoping that untangling this type of work and posting it on its own website will alleviate some of that cognitive dissonance and allow me to see more clearly the types of work things I'm looking at and thinking about, removed from all the pictures of Harry Styles haha.
