Q: Speaking of your blog. I hate to say it, but it's just terrible. It used to be about your life and the early stages of ECHOLILIA and this idea of combining work and family and art and everything. People used to be able to get to know you through your blog. It was like you were the guy who came in to the coffee place every day and you knew all about him. Now it's like a mediocre commercial photography magazine...like a free one that is all ads. Last week was an all time low, really.
A: Oh, I know. That's accurate. I admit it. All things have their times I think. My new project is on tumblr because it's just such an elegant presentation, and then facebook is the live feedback loop for life and community. The blog is now like the dog that had to adjust to a new baby in the family...just not the star anymore.
Q: And then, do you even have a family any more? The only time you acknowledge them is when you try to get someone to buy your book or some foreign country is celebrating ECHOLILIA or something. Like here is Scientific American Tanzania with a 9 page blowout of ECHO....
A: Ok, ok, ok. I get the point. Yes, still have a career, a family and a project, but really the family and project are all wrapped up into one series, written in cryptic code of course, at Stereoscopy Photographs on Tumblr. Have you seen it?
Q: Yes. I still don't get it.

Good talking with you tonite, Timothy. And, funnily enough, this blog post of yours really dovetails nicely with some thoughts I posted on drool today. Check it out: http://tonyfoto.com/drool/2012/05/06/the-future-words-with-no-pictures/
Oh...yikes....I dunno what to say...
