Baie made this really cute embroidery of one of my poems. I was flattered!

Home is good. I like country music.

I have three major orders of business:

1. I changed my website. Incorporating more text pieces and presenting the WORLD PREVIEW (like on TRL) of my Erin Nelson project where I mailed the 243 Erin Nelsons in the United States.

2. I made a photojournal of my stay on an organic farm for 6 weeks. Aka "what I did on my summer vacation."


3. I neeeeeed an apartment in Malmö, Sweden. PLEASE tell me if you have any leads.

Done Farming, you'll hear more about this I'm sure.


So, there is this girl on flickr named Hanna Lee and she is 12 years old. The fact that she is so unbelievably young coupled with the fact that she is making the images she's making astounds me. As with many young photographers, a lot of the work is derivative of other work on the internet, but even still, she is adopting it with a sense for image making that is really impressive to me. The fact that she is using herself in the portraiture that is at times really intimate gives me a unique sense of voyeurism since she is so much between womanhood and childhood. She progresses FAST, so I'm eager to see where she'll be by 15. (Also I've IMed with her and she's exceptionally bright, so I'm sold)


Some of my favorites:









(she describes this one "I am painting my past")





I've been watching her for a couple months. So stoked to see where her photo adventures leave her.

dig this,
back to georgia this time next week.

Tomorrow will mark my midpoint of my farm stay. It is what it is. Definite tectonic shifts in the mind of erinjanenelson. My stress level is at it's healthiest since I was about 10 years old.

Developing weird affinities for the smell of alfalfa pellets, baby goat breath, wild flowers, and Zizek.
