art and movement, 4/52

Sendai self-portrait, 3/52 photo project
self-portrait

Years ago when I was studying Sumi-e ink painting in Japan, I learned that I'm not painting only with my hand but with my whole body. Energy is transferred from my mind and my body onto the paper

I like this photo for two reasons:
It translates my physical and mental movement and my attempt to disengage from the outside world when I'm doing my art.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
