Work
2009 July 11
While I think it would be neat to write code, to throw tall pots, to grow and the use fields of lavendar, to run for miles and then come home and create a meal of elegant simplicity worthy of the photographs I might take, the one skill that I'd love to manage is one I still have time to achieve.
There's an art to doing. To setting in on something and seeing it through. I would like to learn to see a job or project not as so much work to be avoided, but as process, with each component step a beginning and an end and a source of satisfaction.
Barring that, I'd just like to learn to finish what I start.


I’d say the project you undertook to make the old Yates photos available to all of us meets those qualifications.
That might be the poster child for my problem: It is STILL not finished. What’s it been–four years? five?
