Today I’m trying to find the rashness in resignation and the resignation in rashness. Resignation is also a janus word: a word that means its own opposite. Resignation as opposed to rashness means the acceptance of something undesirable but inevitable. However, it also means an act of retiring or giving up a position. Where bothContinue reading “The Twentieth Day of Resignation in Rashness”

The Nineteenth Day of Importance in Unimportance
Today I worked to capture the importance in unimportance and the unimportance in importance. For my images I revisited one of the filters I made yesterday out of junk I found in the bottom of my fabric closet. Here’s a picture of the filters: The one I focused on today is the one on theContinue reading “The Nineteenth Day of Importance in Unimportance”
The Eighteenth Day of Ingenuity in Materiality
Today I’m trying to capture ingenuity in materiality and materiality in ingenuity. Materiality, though as an abstract noun it means: of substantial import; of much consequence; important; pertinent or essential; it made me think of physical materials, especially fabric. So today’s images were an exercise in cleverness or skillfulness of conception or design with materialContinue reading “The Eighteenth Day of Ingenuity in Materiality”
The Seventeenth Day of Resoluteness in Disinclination
Today I’m trying to capture resoluteness in disinclination and disinclination in resoluteness. Disinclination made me think of a steep incline and having no energy to climb it, where resoluteness made me think of walking up the down escalator. Resoluteness in disinclination made me think of a round ball going up the incline, but continually rollingContinue reading “The Seventeenth Day of Resoluteness in Disinclination”
The Sixteenth Day of Validity and Invalidity
Today I’m trying to capture invalidity in validity and validity in invalidity. Invalidity being without foundation or force in fact, truth, or law; logically inconsequent, and valid meaning appropriate to the end in view: effective having the example: “every craft has its own valid methods” made me think about the validity and invalidity of methodsContinue reading “The Sixteenth Day of Validity and Invalidity”
The Fifteenth Day of Composure and Disquietude
Today I’m trying to capture composure in disquietude and disquietude in composure. For this morning’s shoot I colored a plastic filter in red, orange, and yellow squiggly lines to represent disquietude, and created three different cut filters with groups of shapes meant to represent composure. 2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 15 Today’s prompt isContinue reading “The Fifteenth Day of Composure and Disquietude”
The Fourteenth Day of Purpose in Uselessness
Today I’m trying to capture purpose in uselessness and uselessness in purpose. As I made my shape cuts this morning, I was thinking of tools that are created for a specific purpose, but are useless for anything else. 2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 14 Today’s two for Tuesday prompt is: The Poetics prompt atContinue reading “The Fourteenth Day of Purpose in Uselessness”
The Thirteenth Day of Genius in Ignorance
Today I’m trying to capture ignorance in genius and genius in ignorance. For today’s images I looked at those who have been considered geniuses or who have shown genius and thus inspired tried something new, cutting shapes out of clear filters I have drawn on. Being completely ignorant of how that would work, I didContinue reading “The Thirteenth Day of Genius in Ignorance”
The Twelfth Day of Dauntlessness in Timidity
Today I’m trying to capture dauntlessness in timidity and timidity in dauntlessness. How can an image lack courage and confidence while being fearless and bold? Or how can I show fearless lack of confidence? I think I’ll continue with abstract shape combinations. I’ll create one that I think of as being bold and another asContinue reading “The Twelfth Day of Dauntlessness in Timidity”
The Eleventh Day of Surety in Confusion
For this morning’s photographic adventure, I stayed in to capture confusion in surety and surety in confusion. Confusion makes me think of spirals, and surety makes me think of straight lines and arrows. I made two new filters that I enjoyed this morning: one a pinhole spiral and the other a spiral made of straightContinue reading “The Eleventh Day of Surety in Confusion”
