Eternally Conflicted

Almost Two from Jorgen Gulliksen on Vimeo.

Last year, I found the website Slideluck Potshow and quickly became obsessed. At its essence, the website serves as a gallery of slideshows that photographers and artists created and set to music. Two or three times a year, depending on where it is held, people submit their slideshows to judges who then pick the finalists and have a big potluck while sharing their work.

I loved discovering not only new work by really good photographers, but hearing new music as well. I put together a slideshow of Kai’s first two years with the music to one of my favorite bands and sent it off for an upcoming event in NYC.

And got rejected.

I’m not going to lie; this one stung a little. Probably because the photos are so personal. I’m not naive enough to think the work is anything that special compared to what a lot of other photographers are doing, but I think the fact that it was my son made it hurt more.

I still like watching it though.
