Week 42 ~ Self ~ Wednesday, September 9th at 8:57 a.m.

 

.

Self

.

Any life, no matter how long and

complex it may be, is made up of a

single moment, the moment in which

a [person] finds out, once and for

all, who [they are].” - unknown

.

And, in my view (Rachel )

 

this one moment occurs over

.

and over and over in one’s life.

Kristin resting my head into my son's security blanket. purple is magic he always says. of course i know he is the real magic. 

Cory I admit I often find it difficult to turn the camera around and point it at myself. I'm so much more comfortable behind the lens, tinkering behind the scenes. But here I am. Refreshed after a morning bike ride and pampered by all the delightful smelly products in the shower (Lobsterman's 3-in-1 soap = awesome!), but still in need of coffee. The reflection in my eye is my laptop buzzing on and the morning light pouring through my home office window through which I watched thunderclouds pass and sunshine melt its way through.

Rachel I am far from being comfortable with my own image. I never seem to recognize myself. It’s been getting better these past few years, as I’ve prodded myself to appear in photos with my son. Someday he will want to know what I looked like when he was young, and I too. For this self portrait, I could only manage a little over a quarter view of my face. I’m emerging, slowly, from my discomfort with my likeness.

RCIf the pen is mightier than the sword, then how powerful is the dry erase marker?  Preparing for the day of teaching, I note that the words are the focus of what I do... and so, I present the word-maker as the self portrait

Rachel waking my husband from a late afternoon nap.

Cory Ironically (maybe) I could point my camera in any direction and shoot something

green. Green plants, green trees, green water (the river), green carpet, green splashes in nearly every bit of my decor. Heck, I was wearing a green shirt and didn't even think to take a picture of that. So, this is my lovely bike casting a green shadow on my green rug with some green carpet and green sandals to boot.

RC when red stands out so much more on the graded page... green seems so friendly...

rhonda gibson a recycled moment, an idea from mistybliss. Made from

newspapers and buttons from the button jar-green all the way around.

xanthe berkeley pulled over in the car as we were leaving

the  seaside.found this patch of green grass and spotted the green detail on my shoe.

.

Cosi! I was in the car driving home from running some errands. Grabbed my 

point/shoot for a quick shot out the window. It wasn't until I got home & looked at it that I realized how much it reminded me of when I was 13, looking out the car window and seeing the Midwest for the first time after having moved here. So much green compared to where I had lived in suburban NY.

Sarah[Jane]  I was going to take a picture of my green necklaces for today's

moment, but someone came to buy a cucumber so I had to run outside. This is taken through our table, we have holes in it to move the umbrella according to where the sun is during the day.

DebbsGa Had my book at work to make copies of a pattern and my turtles were

visiting my office too. Thank you guys for coming to visit so I had something green!!

hollyindavis just in the door from picking up the kids on their 2nd day of

school. everyone seems frantic & a bit off this week in my house as is evidenced by my husband's coffee bowl still on the kitchen table. yes, we still get a morning paper (not that I ever have time to read it, but my husband is insistent).
