disclaimer, or, why blog?

I fear I may have given some of you a skewed impression.

An impression that what you read or see here is a picture of “me“. And whereas that is not untrue, it’s not completely accurate either. It is, it isn’t. You decide.

This blog is a reflection, a dark mirror, an impression of a carved relief, a place to store the tapes that run through my head, especially in the mornings and especially as of late, to allow for a less noisy approach to my day. It is a place to leave it, so that I stop carrying it, hearing it.

That’s all.

And you may or may not have an out of focus picture. It is all true (I would never offer you lies, my reader, only truth), but it may or may not be fact. Because this photographer can only take and present these pictures in whatever way she chooses. You, reader, will take from them what you will. The viewer always does.

    It’s a fair comment – I’ve recently been made aware of how much I simplify when writing, to the extent that salient facts may be left out …
