“Notes, Notes and More Notes” I like writing this kind of notes…not nearly as depressing as all of the notes that I have to write to myself so that I don’t forget what I’m supposed to do, where I’m supposed to do it and who I’m supposed to do it with or for.
“Fall Fountain” I’m in a creative slump they week. Nothing seems terribly inspired or inspiring. I know that all artists have these times, but I don’t particularly like the feel of it. That being said, I’m soldiering on hoping that the creative fire is rekindled soon! I had a composition student who was sick and missed a lesson this morning. That gave me a free hour that I did not expect to have. There were many productive things that I…
“Breathe On Me”
“The Twilight Zone” I am not happy with Apple right now. The changes that have come with iOS7 have made me quite an unhappy camper – and phone user. Well, that is not exactly true; I have not yet updated my phone. Weber updated his. Thankfully I looked at the changes on his before I made the decision to update mine. I am not one of those people that is resistant to change just because it is change. I am…
“Diggin’ Up the Dirt”
“Power lines – Lifelines” Today was a day of choices. I’m not sure that I made the best ones, but I am happy with the ones I made. I had a bunch of work to do for school. I unconsciously made the choice not to do any of it today. I say subconsciously because throughout the day I kept saying, “I’ll do this, then I’ll grade tests.” With this tactic, I managed to read a bit, do some laundry, clean…
“School Day Sun” I had to scramble for a photo today. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I teach from 7:30 am to 1. That doesn’t allow for much opportunity to photograph the morning sun. It was barely up as we headed for school. I managed to grab this shot with my phone as I quickly made my way through the hall at school. I bet we don’t have too many students who know that there is this beautiful stream of light…
“To Be Me Or Not To Be Me” I’m not sure whether I’m in a creative slump, a creative surge or maybe just a state of rebellion. For the last couple days I haven’t been able to think inside the box with the daily prompts. You would think that with all of the cooking that goes on around here that I would have been able to come up with something good for “sugar and spice.” Everything that I thought of…
‘A Splinter of Who I Am” This is just where I am today…not sure why this spoke to me, but it did.
‘Does Anyone Have A Pen? The point of today’s prompt was to document the things that you carry around in your purse or bag every day. As I mentioned a few weeks ago with the “back to school” prompt, I don’t carry a purse; I carry a backpack. My backpack is full of stuff that is useful and necessary, but necessarily photo worthy. I don’t want pictures of all the papers I need to grade, or the binders of lessons,…
