Day 247: A touch of theatre

Day 247 (10 Aug) Saturday. A bit of early morning recovery from the previous night's dagwood dog adventures. Then, no rest, it is off to clarinet rehearsal before racing over to the theatre for a performance, Trollop, at 2pm.

Waking up, at 6.12am

Brisbane afternoon

Plays in the Bille Brown Studio are always interesting, challenging; sometimes perhaps not quite ready for mainstage, sometimes just perfect. It's a nice walk over to the studio from the bus stop where I took the pic at the intersection of Peel and Grey streets. Another stunning blue sky moment and a bit of dramatic perspective via the angles.

Sun setting

By the time I'm on my way home, there's another colourful sunset and then home to continue reading the Saturday papers, as often happens with a full Saturday program. Nice to be reading about Geoffrey Rush, one of Queensland's acting talents, having spent a day at the theatre.

Home again, at 6.12pm

Tomorrow is a 'work' day, off to do the Uni Open Day.

What am I doing?

Twelvepastsix, or 6.12, is an experiment in observation. I've long been fascinated by patterns in numbers, patterns in life. The 'SevenUp' series is perhaps one of my favourite documentaries. I'm fascinated and inspired in equal parts by the history captured in this style. The project 365 which I have discovered through Twitter, allows me, I think, a way to capture my experiment, on a much smaller scale.

My thinking was originally centred on choosing a time each day, the same time, to observe and understand behaviours in a small way. I toyed with a few ideas but decided on 6.12am/pm, for reasons set out in the first post: 6 December 2012, naturally.

The project will double as a brief journal of each day's events as well, to capture the small detail in its larger context. At year's end, I will be interested to see, just to what extent our days can be as habitual or as extraordinary as we recall.

The 'rule' is reasonably simple: I take a photo of whatever I am doing at 6.12, only the timezone may change depending on circumstances (where photography might be discouraged, forbidden or banned, for example). Most days should have two photos; most days should exist, notwithstanding crossings of the international dateline.

Finally, while this blog is inspired by community of presenters, producers, listeners and tweepsters of Brisbane radio station 612ABC, it is not endorsed by, or in any other way, affiliated with them.

Enjoy, and perhaps think...if only I'd captured 'that' moment.
