The sun came out today for the first time in a week. Sadly, the forecast is for rain the rest of the week. With the higher than usual tides caused by the closer than usual moon, and all the rain we’ve been having, I’m afraid it will be at least two more weeks before I’ll be able to go mudding in the swamp. I may do something in the back yard when it stops raining long enough.
Recently, I renewed my ambition to create a deep mud pit in the woods behind my house. This has been a rainy summer, so the ground has been super saturated. While poking around, I found a spot where the ground beneath the tree roots is spongy. I’m hoping I can dig deep enough to make it interesting, and back-fill the hole with peat and maybe some sawdust. I would love to have a pit where I can go completely under with little to no effort.
This has been a slow mud year. I hope everyone is doing well. I finished my first draft of my making of a mud movie, movie. I’m trying to figure out the sound track, then I’ll have to release it. My biggest problem is I still don’t know how to release it. I lost a major source of income, so I hate to give away a fine piece of work, but I really want lots of people to see it, and that means I’ll have to give it away. I’ve considered giving away a low resolution version and selling the full resolution version. That didn’t work well when I tried it in the past, and Clips4Sale is not an efficient way to handle donations, since they keep 40%.
Stay tuned. I’ll have to work on something this week. I won’t be able to shoot because it will be raining, nonstop. Thanks for dropping by. Sorry there isn’t much going on.
