Lisa J. Murphy is sitting at Lens Factory in Toronto, having a one person (me) book signing party for tactile mind. Maybe I should go buy a balloon or two, tie them to my wrist, and really pump it up. When someone does enter and I say hello, most often they just stare with indifference. Can this city really be so lame?

I had an interesting conversation with Len at Lens Factory today while I was setting up tactile mind books for the signing this weekend. I had put up a beautiful custom print from the “Love Robot” shoot, and I mentioned that I didn’t want people walking in and photographing my photograph and my books. I think that makes sense. Sadly, he didn’t agree with me, and said I would be angering a lot of people in the neighbourhood. I find the whole attitude of people taking pictures of pictures tacky and tasteless; if you really like an artwork – buy it. I find it offensive that people don’t put a value on the time and skill it takes to produce art. I find it offensive that people don’t put a value on the time and the efforts of the subjects that help to create art. Any of my friends who posed for tactile mind would be horrified if they saw someone taking pictures of their photograph. I will be holding my ground with this one.

I did my first digital photoshoot today. Got to burn a $12 hole in my own corporate card. When I ate dinner outside, a rat stumbled into view, and then a pigeon crashed into my window. Big day. Finally got details for book signing sorted out. June 18, 19, 20 (9am – 5pm all three days) at Lens Factory. It is located at 2186 Queen Street East in Toronto. I will be there from start to finish. A few media outlets I sent info to regarding this tactile mind book signing are: Austrian Times, Radio New Zealand, Serius XM, New York Daily News, MTV (Canada), Channel 5 London, and Colombian National Radio.
