After capturing the blue depth effect with my outside lights yesterday, I couldn’t wait to get out there and do it again in an attempt to capture conviction in disbelief and disbelief in conviction. Both conviction and disbelief have multiple meanings. Conviction being about belief but also guilt, or being found guilty, and disbelief beingContinue reading “The Sixth Day of Conviction in Disbelief”

The Fifth Day of Enduring Shortness
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”
A New Adventure: Ambiguously Inevitable
For today’s images I’m trying to capture the inevitability in ambiguity and the ambiguity in inevitability. To me inevitability is a straight line to a conclusion. It can not be altered nor avoided. Ambiguity is blurry, unclear, indefinite. So for today’s images, I put a straight line on a clear filter and took some picturesContinue reading “A New Adventure: Ambiguously Inevitable”
Continuing My Contradictory Abstract Noun Study
Back on May 1st in my post Reviewing April and Contemplating May, I talked about my plan to collect all of the abstract nouns and place them in grids along the three axes of fear (fight to flight); control (inner to outer); and bias (positive to negative) in an attempt to find a new BigContinue reading “Continuing My Contradictory Abstract Noun Study”
She Says Peculiarity is Orange
For those readers who are wondering where my Reading Novels Like a Novelist (RNLN) post is, those posts are on hold for now. I’m still reading and taking notes on a novel a week, I’m just not into spending the time writing about them right now. We’re having some early summer weather here in theContinue reading “She Says Peculiarity is Orange”

Poetry Month Challenges Day 30: Zeal and Zealousness
Zeal & Zealousness Finding the contradictory nature in today’s abstract nouns was an interesting and challenging exercise. Many would say that zeal and zealousness have the same meaning, however, zeal is a feeling and zealousness is being full of or characterized by that feeling. I thought writer Harvey Ardman’s answer to the question of howContinue reading “Poetry Month Challenges Day 30: Zeal and Zealousness”
