A few images/teasers

So I’ve been faithfully taking photographs and editing them, reflecting on them, and choosing my own words or writing reflections and/or poetry in response to the images. I have NOT gone back and seen if words have been repeated, however, I know that certain images have been (sunrise/sunset, self portraits, etc.). I’ve created a Facebook event for this project (for my own project, that is). I haven’t invited anyone to “attend” said event yet; I’m waiting until this coming Monday (April 14th).

I’m posting a few of the photographs here, and have been starting to look at the photos from the start of the project with a more discerning eye, trying to see if any of them are asking me to make them into more than a photo…a painting or hand-stitched piece or a mixed media piece.

I can’t wait to meet up with this support group and discuss the challenges and get some feedback.

Spine & rules & more

Spine: For 100 days, I’ll be exploring the relationship between our surroundings and the words we use to describe them. One image created daily (photographs to start), with at least 10 minutes spent at the end of each day reflecting on the image & choosing a single word to describe the image.

The second part of this project comes in the form of exploring these images & words through social media, and as such, I am looking for people who will view my images and come up with their own words as descriptors. These reflections from others will be brought together for presentation in form of infographics. Certain images will also be rendered in fiber (hand embroidery) and displayed alongside photo prints.

My goal is to be able to recognize patterns in 1)the images I’m drawn to recording in my daily life; 2) the words I use to describe these images; and 3) the words “outsiders” would use to describe the images from my life.
