To Whom...
My name is Douglas Witmer. I am an artist, husband, and father, among other things. The idea of adding to the silent digital cacophony of the cyber world gives me pause. And yet, here I go. Long before there was such a thing as the internet, my attempts at keeping journals and diaries were rarely successful. I'm a self-conscious person. I assumed there would be an audience. It seemed pointless to communicate only with myself.It is the end of Christmas Day, 2004 (really the beginning of the next day). I've been feeling the things of my inner life shifting. I don't know what it all means, but I know that I have some impulses. One is looking for new ways to communicate with others. The launch of "DGLS" is in part a response to this.
To you, the reader:
I don't know how frequently this blog will be added to. You definitely won't need to hear about my leaky roof. You likely won't need to put reading this on your list of things to do everyday.
You will find out about my work as an artist. This will hopefully include someday finding out about my music as well. You will likely hear about the art and music of others.
I am an idealist, and I'm trying to take that more seriously.
I can get a little serious...and a little bit formal. I'm seeing what I can do about that.
I am interested in dialogue, so please comment as you feel compelled to do so.
I will assume that I am speaking to "you"--you, to whom and with whom I hope to communicate.
Thank you in advance for your attention.
