Ripping a door off its hinges can help get things moving. Work has been busy and as usual its all piling up into one undecipherable mess that I'm not sure is mine. This highly understructured and wandery series is like a smoke break for my brain. Sorry for all the non-smokers out there that don't understand that similie.

There's no pretense about how fast things need to be turned around here. 

There's no excuse as to why I couldn't spend a few minutes staring at a corner.

Here is the first of my work at the Monitor that I'm sharing. This project is one I did with reporter friend Tricia. It was tough and we were both lucky that our editors allowed us time away from daily work to pull it off. It's a series of testimonies from new citizens voting for the first time. 

You can see the project (words, images and handwritten thoughts) here.

This post is for some outtakes.
