my dream became waking life.




sitting in a darkened room, watching nan goldin's photos blur & fade into one another, i found myself feeling the same mixture of deep sadness & intense awe.



i was amazed that everyone else in the museum could walk from photo to photo with such objective, detached expressions. i sat on the floor in tears.

i wrote a paper on nan goldin last year. i love her photos. she's had a crazy life. didn't she actually used to live right in central square on pleasant street?

i think she lived in jp, but i'm not sure. she was in boston for a long time. what was your paper about?

[tomface.livejournal.com]

it was short research paper comparing the approaches of nan goldin and ira wohl's documentary work and also the ethical dilemmas of their work.
