Week 7, 2017 Project 365, A Photograph a Day

The seventh week of 2017, a photograph a day, every day. Some days I know exactly what I wish to photograph, to show, to say...other days an image, a thought is revealed as I go about my day.

Like life, the work of creating is sometimes clear and sometimes a struggle. Following is the past week's work.

Burnt Offerings

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet. Rumi

The full moon, February's Snow Moon, marks a transition. Full moon to new moon, casting off the old, embracing the new. The cycle ends, and begins again. Time to let go.

On the eve of the full moon I took scraps of paper and wrote out feelings, beliefs, habits, thoughts - all of which I wanted to release, let go of. I took a silver bowl, filled it with the scraps of paper, and burnt the scraps into ash. The smoke spiraled up, carrying all of those words, into the silver light of the full moon. As the ashes cooled, I added a rose. The heat turned it black, but it held it's shape and it's promise of beauty.

2017 Project 365, A Photograph a Day, Week 6

The sixth week of 2017, in first full February week, encompassed an ordinary week. Some photos came from me living my life, some from photo walks, others were set up. Each day presented a new challenge, a new opportunity to see.

Porch / Day 36 02/05/2017

The week started off warm enough to spend several hours porch sitting. Feet up with a good book, dreaming of spring and summer.




















Birch Bark / Day 37 02/06/2017

Focus on the bark of a birch tree,
all intriguing texture.






















Graffiti / Day 38 02/07/2017

Graffiti under a bridge by the Potomac River.
















Swoosh / Day 39 02/08/2017

Playing around with effects of shooting with an iPhone in the dark. The green swoosh was a surprise, hoping I can duplicate the result.




















Snow Moon / Day 40 02/09/2017
Driving home after a long day at work, the Snow Moon rides with me. I stop to capture it as the setting sun colors the clouds.


Blue jay feather / Day 41 02/10/2017

A found blue jay feather laid out on a window sill in the morning sun.











Street art, Carytown, Richmond / Day 42 02-11-2017

 A late afternoon ride to Richmond, visiting an artist friend at her trunk show, this street mural caught my eye.
