She told me how she had just won $300 in a church give-a-way. Then she asked me to take her photograph. (Best large.)

There was no postprocessing of this photo; this was actual the view from my front porch this morning.

Fun-Loving, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.

I am starting an experimental photo series that will occasionally bleed over to Project 365. I stole this terrific idea from a flickr contact, Shadowjak (check out his photos . . . they are terrific). For this project, subjects are told, "Think of a word or short phrase that symbolizes [or identifies] you." This project will be an ongoing experiment of self perception. I will post a few more on photos on Flickr tomorrow.

Playing at War 1943, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.

In looking through photos today, I found this one of my dad. He was in the Coast Guard during World War II. That's him on the far left, at 17. I don't know what it is with young men (historically) and these types of photographs. I suppose they thought this was funny, men at war.

152/365: The Ones I Didn't Buy


The Ones I Didn't Buy, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.

Several years (and some pounds) ago, I wore shoes like these. I wore lots of very high heeled shoes in lots of colors and styles. Shoes like these are called "stripper shoes" around these parts (from certain close-minded people) because of the heel height and because of those animal spots (women are like wild animals, you know?). I called them cute. But I wore shoes like these, and I wasn't a stripper. I was a secretary back in the day-- before secretaries were called administrative assistants. I thought about buying more cute shoes like these today (a little lower heeled, as the higher heel is no longer comfortable), but I didn't. The store manager kicked me out of the store for taking photographs of shoes. He must have thought I was an aging secretary . . . or that I was stripper . . . or that I had a shoe fetish or something. I don't know. I do know, however, that I didn't buy any new shoes today, and that I'll be avoiding DSW for a good long while.

Project 365: May Mosaic


Project 365: May Mosaic, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.

I have to ask this question about May's Project 365: What happened to the month? Although I took photographs, none of them seem really inspired, but almost all of them-- in some way-- are dissertation related. I guess that's where the month went, to the diss. I pride myself at being able to connect things that don't really connect, but even I can't find too much other than that to connect this month. But then, maybe that's enough. However, as I look at these images there are a few I really like: the man's hand with the two rings, the squirrel, the turtle head, the young women jumpking, the three biceps, and the lifeguard. Maybe I need to look a bit more at people and animals . . . and the odd things they do. Maybe next month. Anyway, here's to June and a more inspired Project 365!
