inspiration and living in 2 parts part 4/2

The piece I wanted to add was to question our sensitivities to multimedia textual experiences. Is it still writing or more so reading when it is required to read something a scene is set using other media like music or the smell of fresh lavender? this is not a new question? Not something I am the first to ask? It is just something I often think about whilst rambling in this electronic paper? Is it even right to post pictures? Or is the skill in actually capturing the mood and event in words and not in multimedia, is that the divergence from writing and move into a form of installation art.

I question that, in the light that our lives are a mosaic of events that merge between the senses and dimensions moving steadily from auditory, tactile and temporal nature of life as we live it.

Is the art in going fishing, tying the fly, casting the fly, hooking the fish, landing the fish, taking the photograph, thinking about it, thinking about doing it or talking about it before or after the event or is it just a momentary lapse in the fabric of time and existence.

We have to question what inspires us, what drives us, what makes us cycle up a hill? What makes us take a photograph, what makes us chose life?
