My Sincerest Apoligies

Ok so recently I have been really and extremely busy trying to get a B&W project put together for an upcoming juried show at my university.  It has consumed me and has been all that I have worked on.  When it is done (if there is such a thing as being done with this project) I will return to doing the dictionary photos.  Thanks and my apoligies to those who have looked hoping for new photos.

Day Something or Another

So here is a picture, a sample of the disparity that I am working on.  It isn't a word from the dictionary, although I am sure there are pages of words that could apply to this image.  It is purposely processed like this and captures the feel that I am trying to portray the best.  Alright now back to my film pictures.

Oh and they are just dolls, so nobody become worried.

Catch Up

So here are my pictures.  I didn't include the definitions, just trying to catch up.

Accident

Arbus (Such as Diane Arbus)

Built

 Wild

Forever

Motion

Electric

Death

Intermission?

So Easter happened and was way more chaotic than I would have liked.  Hence why there hasn't been any pictures for three days.  I decided that I am going to pick a word and do four different images for the word to try and catch up.  My apologies for those who have enjoyed this pathetic creation of mine at all.

Day Ten

Day Ten, Tenth Word

Borrowed, verb; to take or obtain with the promise to return the same or an equivalent.

Totally cheated and used this picture for two purposes, but I like it, so I reckon I can do that.

Day Nine

Day Nine, Ninth Word

Protection, noun; protecting or being protected.

I love this picture.  I took it at my school where evidently a $0.33 roll of toilet paper needs to be secured by a $15.00 master lock.  Hmmm and they are raising tuition....

Day Eight

Day Eight, Eighth Word

Innocuous, adjective; that cannot injure or harm.

Introducing Bronagh.  She looks mean, yes.  She is a pitbull, yes.  Is she dangerous, no.  She might lick you to death and smash you because she thinks she is a lap dog, but she is definitely innocuous.

Day Seven

Day Seven, Seventh Word

Aleatory, adjective; depending on chance or luck.

Day Six

Day Six, Sixth Word

Pettifogging, adjective; tricky or dishonest, especially in petty manners.

Finally a word that I had fun with, I didn't think it was ever going to happen again. 

Day Five

Day Five, Fifth Word

Mother, noun; a term of address for a female parent or a woman having or regarded as having the status, function, or authority of a female parent. 

So today's word was challenging again.  I took some other pictures, but decided to go with this one.  This is a wind chime that my mom gave to me and because it is always yelling at me I thought it was kind of fitting.  Thanks for looking, all three of you.

Day Four

Day Four, Fourth Word

Perforate, verb; to make a hole or holes through by boring, punching, piercing, or the like.

 Well here it is day four and I am really glad I started doing this, it is challenging and I have to think and be creative.  Although the only thing really creative I did with this picture was the way I processed it. 

Day Three

Day three, Third Word

Thinking, adjective; rational, reasoning.

This was the hardest one yet, albeit it is only the third day.  Going off the definition is why I made this image.  My decision to continue smoking is neither rational or reasoned, it is just what I want to do at the moment.  Have a nice day.

Day Two

Day Two, Second Word

Condemned, verb; to give grounds or reason for convicting or censuring.

Funny that my next word was condemned, so many different ways this one could have gone.  After taking this picture I got the overwhelming desire to read 1984 again. 
 

Day one

Day one, First word.

Often, adverb; many times; frequently.

Thinking about this project I wanted to have this first picture be spectacular.  An image that would catch the viewer by their coattails and drag them into my world.  Well it looks like my world is pretty mundane.  Less sex, drugs and rock-n-roll and more ordinary life, time to mow the lawn type shit.  Here it is for your viewing pleasure, enjoy and come back once in a while, I am bound to take a good shot eventually.

What the hell is this?

So this idea is not novel.  It was not a genius moment that I had in the middle of the night.  Rather it is something that has been done before, but usually by groups or pairs of people.  Each morning I am going to flip open a dictionary, blindly point to a word and use that as my theme for a photograph that day.  In this way I can do this project by myself and keep track of my progression as a photographer.  Wish me luck.
