This morning it stopped raining long enough to go outside to capture the shortness in endurance and the endurance in shortness. With endurance being the ability or strength to continue or last, and shortness being the quality of lasting a short amount of time, how could something be both at the same time? I thoughtContinue reading “The Fifth Day of Enduring Shortness”

The Fourth Day of Significant Insignificance
Today I set out to capture the insignificance in significance and the significance in insignificance. To make something significant is to give it importance, consequence, meaning. Giving part of an image significance is a matter of composition. An object can be significantly larger or smaller than the other elements. It can be the brightest, orContinue reading “The Fourth Day of Significant Insignificance”
A Third Day of Artistic Incapacity
Today’s incapacity was that I woke up after the sun, and almost all of my lights are outside, so to capture the artistry in incapacity and the incapacity in artistry, I had to perform my artistry with some lights slung in the mirrorworld that I haven’t played with in a while. When looking at theContinue reading “A Third Day of Artistic Incapacity”
Day Two’s Perseverant Indolence
For today’s images I’m trying to capture the indolence in perseverance and the perseverance in indolence. To me both abstract nouns have to do with repetition, but one is active and one is inactive, one requires expending energy, and the other preserving energy. It would be fun to cut out a sloth (the animal) filter—IContinue reading “Day Two’s Perseverant Indolence”
Not All Monsters Are Villains
If you missed this morning’s prompts post, I am responding to the prompts from What Makes a Villain. For today’s images I revisited the classic monster transparencies I created at the beginning of the month. Thinking about the difference between monsters and villains, I realized I would only consider some of the monsters villains—the onesContinue reading “Not All Monsters Are Villains”
Lost in the Forest
If you missed this morning’s prompts post, I am responding to the prompts from Deep in the Forest. Today was a the first frost of the season. I took a nice walk hunting for small leaves and fronds to use as filters on clear plastic to create forests in the mirrorworld. OctPoWriMo 2023:Facing Our FearsContinue reading “Lost in the Forest”
Facing What Haunts Me
If you missed this morning’s prompts post, I am responding to the prompts from Haunted. For today’s images I wanted to create that feeling when you’re alone at night and you think you see someone out of the corner of your eye, or you hear doors creak and cupboards bang. Today’s photo shoot was aContinue reading “Facing What Haunts Me”
Strange Superstitions
For today’s images I cut some new filters to play with superstitions in the mirrorworld. I thought it would be fun to see if I could “break” the mirrors with my filters to avoid the bad luck. OctPoWriMo 2023:Facing Our Fears I think this is the first time I’ve tried the Mirror Sestet. I likeContinue reading “Strange Superstitions”

The Night Sky
For today’s images, I made pin point filters of constellations: Orion and the Big Dipper, then I pretended the mirrorworld was the night sky.
