10/16: the pier & bridge
I've often stopped at the pier and bridge on my way to campus to take pictures of the reflections on the lake, but this semester I'm working at home so I haven't been there in awhile. This morning I drove out and took a few photos.
10/15: taking
...a camera on my walk today. I photographed some leaves, flowers, and tree trunks, but my favorite picture is this one of part of a shipping container.
10/13: taking
...a backroad as I was driving home today from Morgan. It reminded me of the roads in rural Pennsylvania where I grew up.
10/12: sitting outside
...in the downtown park and reading for pleasure. I finished my errands a little early and had a half-hour before my hair appointment, so I enjoyed my book in the autumn sun and air. And just for fun I sat near a sculpture of a girl reading.
10/11: watching
...a leaf in the wind. It was dangling from a single strand of a spider's web that I could barely see--so the leaf looked like it was floating, dancing mid-air.
10/10: fixed by noon
Last night we had to sleep in a hotel because our plumbing was on the blink. Chris got us first on the list for the plumber this morning, and the problem was fixed before lunchtime. It was something we definitely couldn't have taken care of ourselves, and I'm very thankful it wasn't a full-day or multi-day job.
10/9: creative exercises
I did an Odyssey remix in the morning. I took a page from the Butcher & Lang translation and used words from that page to make a 9-word sentence: the first word had 1 letter, the second had 2, the third had 3, usw up to 9. Then I found a way to arrange them on a page in a way that would enact their meaning somewhat. It was really fun.
In the evening I did a Crystal Bridges workshop on collage composition, and the first activity was inspired by Ellsworth Kelly's Brushstrokes Cut into Forty-Nine Squares and Arranged by Chance. That was a happy surprise.
