The Tenth Day of Hasty Restraint

For this morning’s photographic adventure, I set out to capture hastiness in restraint and restraint in hastiness. Hastiness made me think of running, and tripping, dropping things, making mistakes. Restraint made me think of rope, tied hands. For today’s images I hastily revisited a fringe curtain filter. 2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 10 Today’sContinue reading “The Tenth Day of Hasty Restraint”

The Ninth Day of Appraising Neglect

For this morning’s photographic adventure, I set out to capture appraisal in neglect and neglect in appraisal. With neglects first meaning being to pay little or no attention to, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to try to pay attention to something other than what I was taking a picture of while IContinue reading “The Ninth Day of Appraising Neglect”

The Eighth Day of Imagination in Reality

Imagination in Reality (neighbor’s security light in four directions) by Maria L. Berg 2023 For this morning’s photographic adventure, I set out to capture the reality in imagination and the imagination in reality. That reads like the definition of what I do every day, so it feels wide open in terms of shapes, line, color,Continue reading “The Eighth Day of Imagination in Reality”

The Seventh Day of Hesitation in Resolve

This morning I set out to capture the resolve in hesitation and the hesitation in resolve. Resolve is a firmness of purpose or intent, determination to follow some course of action. The first part made me think of a brick, the second part made me think of motion. Hesitation is a delay due to uncertaintyContinue reading “The Seventh Day of Hesitation in Resolve”

The Sixth Day of Conviction in Disbelief

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”
