It is going to be fun, I think, and hopefully unpredictable.

Also, the cave paintings are stunning!

Great project! I am looking forward to going back in time and read what you discover.

I don’t get your photo journal. Where can I get it?

Neil Scott's avatar

Thanks Manuela! Apologies, I haven’t been sending them out as emails. More than one email week seems like a lot! I will be getting better at linking to them in the newsletter.

How did I miss the A to Z aspect?! I've really enjoyed your series. And this was fascinating, thank you!

Neil Scott's avatar

Thank you! The A to Z was extremely arbitrary, but useful for serendipitous discoveries.

For some reason I don't get your photo journal newsletters. I just tried turning them off then back on again (classic). I'll see if that makes the difference.

Thank you, Christopher. And thanks for the Alice Gribbin link. I am fascinated by how people can take an unaesthetic view of art and put ideology above feeling. What a sad existence. Currently rereading Wolfe’s The Painted Word, which is illuminating on this score. That said, I do enjoy thinking about motivations and obviously politics is an obsession for many people.
