Go Away - Untitled Life #11

  After I turned 30 years old I began to change. I began to retreat from society, especially 21st century society and as I approach 55 the word recluse keeps coming up. In my mid 20s living in my huge raw loft in Old City I had big yellow neon lights installed that could be seen over a block away at night through my large industrial windows and when those lights were on people knew I was home and it was just fine to drop in. Today I couldn't even imagine doing that with a head always in thought of what to photograph, or what to paint, I don't want my thought process interrupted by small talk and interruptions. I'm never expecting anyone so I never answer the door when someone knocks or rings the doorbell.
