During Trek 01 and Trek 02, there were two persistent situations that stressed me and caused a fair amount of aggravation.
The first: Stills. I don't know why, but out f the hundreds of stills I took with my digital camera, I wasn't happy with a single one. I have had this problem before, and I think it's rooted in my frustration with two-dimensional media. I figured this would be different, though, for my goal for this project was to use these stills in a progression over time. But I found it irresistable to look at each captured image as its own piece.
The second: Ambiance. No matter where I went with my stereo mics, an ambient hum from various sources overrode any interesting sounds I was trying to capture. I quickly began to realize that my ears do a sort of "compression" when it comes to locating interesting sounds, as if I naturally phase out ambient sound. The mics, however, do not.... except for maybe when the recorder is on auto-volume mode.
