David bought Jennifer and I dinner tonight. We went to the 74th st. Alehouse and I had the fish tacos and they were good. We talked about my dinosaur photos and D asked the key question “What is your intention?” Which brings to light that my only intention is to make something pretty. To make the dinosaurs somehow seem alive or large. The depth of field is nice, the detail is nice, the color is nice, but if you were to ask me “So what?” then I wouldn’t be able to tell you. They encouraged me to make up a story or add a context and all I could think of is that the dinosaurs come out of the earth, the army tries to stop them, and the army fails because dinosaurs rule.

Jen and I talked to David about our impressions of his project where he put himself in a box made of plexiglass with holes in the sides wearing boxers and then had self portraits of his friends all around and then he had all his friends in for his performance. Anyhow, without going into too much detail, he’s trying to figure out what to do with the box.

My folk music band meets tomorrow which will be great. I have meetings all day tomorrow afternoon too.
