photos from coney island with anne
I realized a couple of days after a conversation with mav that I actually never answered one of her questions.
“why robots?”
It was something I have never tried to answer, but as that question somersaulted in my unconscious, I realized why.
Why robots.
I felt with robots I couldn’t make a mistake. I mean there are really no rules.
And so I realized without naming it that I needed to try and make something that I couldn’t get wrong.
Because that is hard for me – the not getting it wrong.
I fight that battle on a daily basis. The 'letting go' battle. Letting go and thinking something is enough.
A robot, for me at least, represents freedom.
And that is quite a gift. So thanks to mav for asking, so I could finally realize why.



Tomorrow photos of coney island sans softies…
