December Views 2009: The Explanation

 

“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” (Alfred Stieglitz)

Last November (2008) and the November before that (2007), I participated in Nablopomo and I needed a break from writing about my life. So I took a vow of silence here. A no rules vow of silence because there are enough rules in life and I didn’t want to add anymore to the mix especially during the busy holiday season. I did it for me but a lot of you opted to join me and we built a little bit of fun community around it and I like tradition which is why I participated in Nablopomo again this year and which is why I am bringing back December Views, Year III.

I really want to spend some time with the visual, sinking into the silence and observing the world around me, creating my view of that world and I thought I would share that here.

Rather than blogging words, I am going to blog images for the month of december. There are no rules and though I intend on blogging images everyday ~ that is not the intention, rather then intention is to allow myself to enjoy the quiet, to allow myself a month of no stress creativity and to allow myself to share a bit of my world with you in a completely different way than I usually do. I am excited.

Some of you are opting to join me, the more the merrier I say. If at any time during December, you want to do the same, let me know and I’ll link you. I think it would be fun to see your world through images. This doesn’t have to be high arty photography though it can be. It doesn’t have to be sharp photograhy though it can be. It just has to reflect your days, your life, your thoughts or your reflection. Feel free to join at any time … use words, don’t use words and remember it really is all about having a month of beauty, however that looks for you.

December Views 2007: The Explanation

In November, I participated in Nablopomo and I need a break from writing about my life.

So I have taken a vow of silence here. I will still be commenting on my friends' blogs, in fact, I am looking forward to catching up on my blogroll as well as visiting new people who commented on my site during nablopomo. I might even get crazy on occasion and respond to your comments in the comment box because who am I kidding, I love to write, to converse.

That said, I really want to spend some time with the visual, sinking into the silence and observing the world around me, creating my view of that world and I thought I would share that here.

Rather than blogging words, I am going to blog images for the month of december. There are no rules and though I intend on blogging images everyday ~ that is not the intention, rather then intention is to allow myself to enjoy the quiet, to allow myself a month of no stress creativity and to allow myself to share a bit of my world with you in a completely different way than I usually do. I am excited. Some of you are opting to join me, the more the merrier I say.

If at any time during December, you want to do the same, let me know and I'll link you. I think it would be fun to see your world through images. This doesn't have to be high arty photography though it can be. It doesn't have to be sharp photograhy though it can be. It just has to reflect your days, your life, your thoughts or your reflection. Feel free to join at any time ... use words, don't use words and remember it really is all about having a month of beauty, however that looks for you.
