“Reality :1, Creativity: 0 For Monday through Thursday, this is the essential equipment I need to get through the day – lesson plans, keys, name badge and a pencil. I have accepted the fact that Wednesday’s photos are not going to be my most creative; however, this is as real as it gets.
“Handle On Life” What makes someone think that photographing an everyday door handle is a good idea or even an interesting idea? When challenged to photograph something ” from the side,” most people would think profile – of a person. I never said that my mind works in the same way as most people’s. Or, for that matter, any people’s. I took this picture a few days ago, but intentionally for today’s prompt. It is the handle, from the side,…
“Measure Of Love” It is funny the things to which you find yourself drawn. This tin measuring cup belonged to Weber’s mom. Though I never knew her, I hear Weber’s stories, read recipes written in her hand and hold this measuring cup and somehow feel like maybe I do know her. Both the blessing and the curse of marrying at fifty years old, plus or minus a few years, is that neither of us had to deal with mother-in-laws. It…
“This Is Why We Sing” Music has been a huge part of my life since I started taking piano lessons at age four. (If you are calculating, that is 47 years.) I am very fortunate to have a job teaching music theory. Though there were so many ways that I could have approached this prompt, I knew immediately that my photo of the day would somehow include Resounding Harmony. Singing with RH is, to me, what music is all about….
“I’ve Been Framed” It is amazing how much you can get done on a Saturday when you get up at 6am! We were up early because I had a 7:30 dentist appointment. (This appointment was original at 9, but Erin needed an emergency root canal and rather than make her get up for the early time, I swapped with her.) After we had both endured having our mouths tromped through, we went shopping for some accessories to go with her…
“Truth In Advertising” I don’t know if the prompts this week aren’t inspiring or if my photos are just uninspired, but I am not feeling the photographic love right now. Maybe this is because I have been at home for two days grading papers and doing laundry. Perhaps I need to get out into the real world over the weekend. Whatever the problem, I apologize for the less than exciting pictures. I may just be bitter about today’s prompt being…
“Good Vibrations, Please!” As a clarinetist, I am always at the mercy of my reed for a good performance.
“Bubble Wrap and Chicken Wire” I have learned that Wednesdays are not days for me to expect anything good to come of my picture taking. I have so little time for the things I need to do forget the things I want to do. I was hurrying across campus this afternoon and first noticed the slim tree framed by the edges of two buildings. Then I saw the “art” – I believe it is bubble wrap encased in chicken wire….
“A Tree Begging To Be Noticed” I am fortunate to be able to walk the mile and a half to and from work (school) each day. This way I get some exercise and am able to do a little to reduce my carbon footprint. As I am walk, I am usually thinking about my destination – what do I need to do when I get to school or what is waiting for me when I get home. On the edge…
“Peanut Butter and Celery” “Hello World!” Happy Monday everyone! I hope you have a good week.
