Paragraph Two

Arthur and I have decided to collaborate on a project combining his photography with my poetry. The idea (initially) is for each of us to come up with 10 topics for the other person who will then take photos/write poetry in relation to said topics. Then Arthur will send me the photos he took and I will write in response to those photos, in turn I will send Arthur the poetry I wrote and he will then take photos to compliment the writings. When we have them all finished we will most likely figure out some intricate way of displaying them together and then Arthur intends to bind them in a hand made book and I plan on building a blog around the entire project.

Arthur of course sent me 18 rather than 10 topics. I believe I am going to (attempt) write about all 18 and then choose 10 of those 18 to include in the project. I origonally sent Arthur only 10 topics (as we had agreed) but I have come up with 8 more so that he will have the same option to choose the 10 he prefers.

The topics Arthur sent to me are as follows:

1.Solitude
2.City Limits
3.Gaze
4.Bright Light
5.Through the Haze
6.In a Nutshell
7.Around the Clock
8.Ocean View
9.Intermittently
10.Putting on Airs
11.Blood, Sweat and Tears
12.Forgotten
13.Residual
14.Magnitude
15.Ritualistic
16.Vehemently
17.Ingrained
18.Searching

The topics I chose for Arthur are below:

1.Spiritual Warfare
2.Somewhere in the City
3.This American Life
4.In Reverse
5.Internal Dialog
6.Underworld
7.The Body is a Temple
8.Fall
9.Success
10.Justice
11.The Messenger
12.Total Loss
13.Zodiac
14.Deus Ex Machina
15.Militant
16.Bliss
17.Communication
18.Chaos


I would be much more confidant in the success of this project, the completion of this project even if I still wrote well enough to warrant a project involving poetry...We'll see how it goes.
