What is it that I'm doing here with my little corner of the Internet?
Well first thing first I am bringing something new to the Internet. That is my little Upstate.
Yes we have internet. Yes they have their own websites and social media pages. But, I think you are missing something. I think that you might be missing a lot.
This is where the idea of Neg4tive Sp4ce came to me. Often when we see art we can sometimes miss the point while looking at all the details. Sometimes though there is a negative space that the artist intentionally puts into their piece.
Life is art in motion. That means that sometimes when we look at someone's life we are looking at a single moment. But there is a life time of negative space that we are unaware of. Context that makes the picture more whole.
Looking at those people in my community who may, at first glance, not be hiding much while they contain a lifetime of negative space that can enlighten us. So, let's go meet some of our neighbors.
This might seem like a bit of a hodgepodge of interviews with people somewhat disconnected from one another. One week we might talk to an electrical engineer while the next we will talk to a local school teacher. One week we may actually talk to a neighbor of mine that I see most days and make sure I give a hearty hello to. Not every week will be dominated by your interest. That's ok. You know what thread ties all these people together? My little Upstate.
You're welcome to join us for our conversations about life in the past, present, and our collective future.
