#stareprylisten is my mantra. A cue to:
surrender to the present.
satiate curiosity.
indulge senses.
be open.
live.
Asking, "Why?" and streaming nature, food, tech, Florida & travel LIVE on Meerkat & Periscope.
Background
I have an illustration that a friend gave to me years ago. It is of a quote from a famous photographer, Walker Evans who said, “Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something, you are not here long.” It is really about indulging curiosity. I tag my streams with #stareprylisten not only to organize my content so viewers can find me, but also because it is a great translation of what happens on participatory livestreams: viewers watch, ask questions and listen. It is about being engaged in the present by using all your senses to squeeze the most out of the moment — something I hope viewers do while they are in my streams as well as when they are offline.
stareprylisten.com is a custom, responsive Wordpress.org site designed to house recordings of select livestreams, relevant links and additional information. Users can also watch livestreams via Meerkat embed.
