When is a body of work complete?

This is a new still life I did in the studio yesterday. I had sworn off the still life creating for a bit. Sometimes the distance or break allows for new out of the box I have placed myself ideas. Sometimes the pause generates more experimentation to see something new. I think I will always be creating still lifes even without realizing until I am moving objects. The more I understand arrangement support the more I challenge myself to create more abstract compositions. All the while, I continue to have the principals of Ikebana in play. What really gets me is the more I sit still, the more clarity I have with placement. 

Onward into the experimental realm of Abstract Realism and Contemplative Photography I go! 

T.S. Elliot Begins a New Book

"The End is Where We Start From." TS Elliot

Who reads the last page or even the last chapter of a book first? I can not go through a book without reading the preface first. Mr. Hamilton, my high school english teacher, showed me how significant the preface or introduction can be. So for me the mystery is already over; the story line is just icing on the cake.
Perhaps that is why I am drawn to the idea of creating a new kind of photography book. One with words and images; just not the way our brain has come to auto interpret in anticipation. So, I feel as though it is almost a Kohan of creating a book with no words. I pose a challenge to anyone willing to create: How can I change the definition of book.
