Addiction... or destiny of an antiques collector. by egold

Addiction (noun) / 1. The state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. / 2. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something. It’s about my addiction, addiction to collecting antiques. As any other addiction it takes you all, you don’t see anything around except antiques. You live in your own world and recognize only your treasures or things you need. / Like a mollusk you live in your shell, getting out just for short time, to catch something and get back to your habitation. When you, shell-fish, staying alone, you as The Merchant of Venice, Shylock can look at your treasures again and again, count them through the hours. So… addiction to collecting is a sickness, some kind of disease… but so pleasant disease. Thanks to: / skydancer_stock from deviantart.com for the “collector” / pacsaman from deviantart.com for the beautiful female image; / Lorivintage55stock from deviantart.com for the “jeweled elephant”;

Roller(s) by egold

Roller (noun) / 1. a person or thing that rolls. / 2. a cylinder, wheel, caster, or the like, upon which something is rolled along. Summer… France…Nice… Hotel Negresco. Inaugurated in 1913, and listed as a National Historic Monument, this Belle Époque palace is located on the seafront promenade overlooking the Bay of Angels. Hotel furnished throughout with a unique collection of antiques and contemporary works of art. Among others these sculptures paid my attention. They were standing and moving in a same time, rolling somewhere… The spanish sculptor Franck R. Tassi offers a representation of a mixture of various elements resulting from his concern about the relation of man in front of the universe, the society or technology. His style of expression shows man as creator as well as victim and often prisonner of his technology and even slave of his own inventions… It’s from the official description of his sculptures Mechanic Dancer (Cyborg M.M.) and Jeanne De Loulu… I use here my shots of these sculptures and an interior of Hotel Negresco to define the word “roller” as a symbol of our life. We all run, move, roll somewhere… We don’t know where we go… Tomorrow is unpredictable but we’re rolling there, we all are the Rollers… Created for the set dictionary of image. /
World... or old legend modified by egold

WORLD (noun) / 1. the universe or all that exists; everything. / 2. the earth, or a planetary body like it. / 3. secular interests and affairs. / 4. the earth, it’s countries and their inhabitants, all people. / 5. the earth as known or in some political respect. Some ancient beliefs that the world is born through the universe on the back of one or more enormous animals (such as a turtle in Native American creation myth), though these myths do not necessarily include an infinity aspect or multiple/endless layers of animals. In Asian religious mythology, the Earth was born by three elephants / which stood on the back of a giant turtle, symbol of the primitive oceans. In Hindu myth, the tortoise Chukwa supports the elephant Maha-pudma, which in its turn supports the world. In Chinese myth the tortoise also supports the world, its four feet being the four corners of the earth. Here is my modification of that old legends. World is all around us, around me. It’s my country and my beloved city. / So… it’s my world.

About This Group

A visual dictionary where images and typography are used in combination to define words and their meanings.

It’s really easy. Just add a suitable definition to an image the typography must be on the image, not just the description. As you become addicted this fun game, you’ll find yourself learning more and more about typography as well!

Here’s an example: you have a photo of your cat, Fuzzbutt, dozing in the sun. Suitable words would be cat, nap, sleep, lazy, time out, warm, happy … see where this is going? Good! Now just add the word and a short definition to the image and help us build our dictionary! ;)
