I thought my idea for shadow wasn’t working. I created a paper shade for a lamp, thinking it would make cool patterns on the ceiling, but the paper was too thin. But then I used it over my lens hood and took it into my mirror world and got some really neat effects. November PADContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 19: A Shadowy Future”

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 18: This Unknown Thursday
November PAD Chapbook Challenge Today’s prompt is to write a Thursday poem. Over at dVerse Poets Pub, Grace introduced the poetry form the Wayra. A short, syllabic, non-rhyming form that is new to me. She also challenged us to use onomatopoeia which fit well with my notes of the sounds of this Thursday morning. ThisContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 18: This Unknown Thursday”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 17: Off Objects
Today I finally have the day to myself and the prompt “Off “should fit well with my mirror world–images reflecting off so many surfaces, and the tilt of the mirror making everything a little off–but the sun came out, so those plans are off. I decided to go see what was popping off outside. AContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 17: Off Objects”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 16: Smashing Reality’s Form
Today I got to play in my mirror world a little bit and worked at smashing reality. November PAD Chapbook Challenge Today’s two for Tuesday prompt is to write a form or anti-form poem. That pretty much covers: write a poem. Looking to Smash Something I smack my lipsgnashing hackinglooking for something to smasha rashContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 16: Smashing Reality’s Form”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 15: This Day Tilted, Sped Up, and Left Me Behind
Inspired by Es Devlin’s Masterclass, I spent part of yesterday and this morning creating a mirror world. I had big plans to play with the oracle ball I made and bokeh and all sorts of things. I thought it would be perfect for tilt because I tied one of the mirrors to tilt at aboutContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 15: This Day Tilted, Sped Up, and Left Me Behind”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 14: Tearing Out the Tears
For today’s images I played with the homograph (words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings, and may be pronounced differently) of tear. Building on yesterday’s images and inspired by the work of Erica Baum and Tracie Morris from week 10 of ModPo, I physically put tears in some of yesterday’s oracle pictures.Continue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 14: Tearing Out the Tears”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 13 & #SoCS: Forging an Oracle
For today’s images, I wanted to build on yesterday’s fun discovery. The eye photo from yesterday makes me think of an oracle. Then I thought of a magic 8 ball. I used to have one and really liked it.I found an online 8 Ball, but it just wasn’t the same. The physical holding and shakingContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 13 & #SoCS: Forging an Oracle”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 12: Secret in the Raw
It took a couple days, but I found a moment of wild abandon! This morning, I wanted to try a new skill. I remembered my screw-on fisheye lens that I haven’t played with in a while, and noticed it made bokeh with some lights I had hanging. I put one of my shape filters overContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 12: Secret in the Raw”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 11: Obscured Memories
For today’s images I thought it would be interesting to obscure my world with an object. I thought of those two yellow wiffle balls I found during my lost photos. When I went to grab one, I found a third. 🤨 November PAD Chapbook Challenge Today’s prompt is to write a memory poem. Innocent AlterationContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 11: Obscured Memories”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 10:
When I included “abandon” as a prompt, I imagined things left behind. I was feeling that kind of abandon yesterday, but I want to leave that behind. This morning when I thought of abandon, I thought of wild abandon: bright colors, spinning until falling, rolling down hills. The surrender kind of abandon. This bliss kindContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 10:”
