semantic satiation. it's that thing that happens when you repeat a word so much that it becomes meaningless sound. it's how i feel about the evolution of my second annual collection of work, what have we done 2012.
after a year spent searching and coping and re-evaluating while not taking as many pictures as in the past, designing my magazine was a difficult task, made more trying by an incessant stream of technical problems, printer errors, crossed-wires, and mandatory re-designs. i worked on this magazine so much that the images started to look like blotches of color and abstruse shapes, void of content. the text sounded trite and tried. i nearly sent the fucker to languish in the matrix of mac trash, but instead i published it.
despite the tribulations, i am proud to have created such a thing. after all, the experience of making something doesn't always reflect the quality of the outcome. and i am uber grateful for the people in my life who have cheered me on and made me feel like what i've done is important and meaningful.
