Nipping it in the bud

Okay. It seemed like a good idea, but it's only day #3 and I am bored with the project. I have all the 2's I need, nothing new is being created . . .

THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!

Thus I'm not going to continue. There are so many other new things I want to do, to eventually show, that to post a 2 a day is just a waste of time and mental energy, you know?

The writer Annie Dillard said, "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." I do not wish to spend however many days I have left posting photos I'm not jazzed about.

This 2 is part of a series of 10 that I did for Fine Art America, each number a different color, with a different background, and then I made a sweeping line of colored dots at the bottom that, to me, makes the number look like it's floating in water.

Hence the title for the series: "Numerical Flotation Devices."

Have any of them sold? No more than one, if that. Ah, well. One keeps trying . . .

Here's a link to the gallery of 10.

To zee five

These three have been sitting around for awhile. Time to get them out of the folder and into the light.

The "2" is part of a collage I began but, dissatisfied with it, never completed. As I create physical collages, I photograph bits and pieces of them along the way because, well, because you never know...

The "Z" is a photo of a child's block and then combined with a photo I took of the texture on a wall.

And the "5" is a combo of a picture I took in a bunker in Astoria, Oregon and a 5/flag I photographed on a building in Williams, Arizona.

Happy weekend, everyone. ©Carol Leigh

Red, White, and Two

I like the stark simplicity of this shot, photographed in New Mexico during our Bart shakedown "cruise." ©Carol Leigh
