in the morning i get out of bed

for the past few weeks i've been working with casey and sarah on making a visual representation (sorta-not-really) of matthew dickman's poem "trouble." we had been working on the project for a while when i figured it might be worth asking matthew to narrate for us. he agreed and yesterday we went to his se portland apartment to listen to him read aloud a poem i've only ever heard in my head. (he and casey are in the next photograph.)

the more time i put into this project the more excited about it i get. having him as the narrator has definitely helped, too. these are just a few stills of the project and the folks in it so far. we're still about a month away from wrapping up, but stay tuned for more updates.
