Unmanned space.
Hello friends and strangers and strangers who I invite to be friends! This summer I am hiking the Oregon sections of Pacific Crest Trail. This hike will be my longest yet, requiring me to be in the backcountry for at least 30 days straight. For the price of a couple beers, you can have access to wonderfully large photos of places people rarely see without having to also endure blisters and sunburns and deer ticks.
I was thinking, “I should drink myself to death tonight”, and then I thought, “but I need to fix my hair, first”.
This has lead me to conclude that I’m probably not ready to die.
Opalka shot 50 self portraits over the course of 40 years, each one immediately upon the completion of one of his numerical Infinity paintings. He died in 2011.
Numbers, man. I feel it.
