Welcome.

I got to travel to Maine this past weekend; my first time spent away from Boston in months was for the wedding of my friend MS. I think I went to New York in november or december; its been so long I don't remember. A great time was had by all; there was much rejoicing, and it was good.

So I am starting this weblog... I'm not sure what I'll be saying here, which is why for a description, I simply explained thirdwind, which is a name I've been using as a catchall for work I've done since about 1998. I am a musician and a photographer right now, but sometimes I describe myself as a photographer and a musician. I've also, at times in the past, written poetry and painted pictures. I guess I'm a Rambling Artist. My friend ESM thinks I have an Artistic Arrogance, and I tend to agree. I've never let my near-total lack of formal training prevent me from trying a new project. I frequently fail. There are two Very Important Maxims in life (there are many more, but let's not lose focus): failure is always an opportunity to gain new insight and increased knowledge, and if you can't do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

I enjoy my art.

(Look forward to postings of my work as soon as I can figure out how to do it.)

I guess I will figure all of this out as I go along, much like MS and his new bride M.
