The Unwanted Portrait
By John Kennerdell Handing out the occasional print, it seems to me, is one small thing we photographers can do in return for our intrusions into the lives of our subjects. It's also its own reward, at least in the corner of the world where I live. Most people hereabouts in rural Southeast As...
well spoken. I had this conversation with my now wife after I came back from a deployment to Afghanistan as a civilian. As it turns out, I have not deployed to a combat zone since, but I have deployed for disaster responses. We're expecting our first son soon, and we have to think through this again.

@Doug When you know that you will be entering chaos (e.g. that is what you do) planning means having a way to take in the chaos and make some sense of it, and to respond and work with it. Not planning has a way of extending the period of chaos, or magnifying its effects on you. Sometimes this has very bad effects.
@Walt It is not changes in tempo, structure per se that cause it. There are times in the piece when there were multiple themes/voices going on at once, one of which was the repeating theme. To me, the multiple voices sounded like they were in tension (not quite conflict) while the underlying theme was almost an anchor that I could grab onto and take in everything else around it.

Steadyness in chaos - Louis Luangkesorn
I was listening to Danielpour's Concerto for Orchestra and noticing the recurring theme as it passed from part to part, popping up in a variety of contexts. Sometimes when the overall tone was almost melodious and sometimes when it was present in the midst of conflict and cacophony. But always ...
Oh, I love this idea! Now to look at my schedule to see if I can make it to one of these.
