birthday shot 3, 2 days past- eaten by the walls
Alpha and Omega- the framed image was the first I shot after learning I would be housebound and sick. I though it would last a few months, not more than a year. This is the 3rd birthday shot and I am tired of being eaten by the walls. The shooting room is going to be stripped bare, repainted; all my props I have packed and put away. I want to look elsewhere but need to learn to refocus my eyes. I suppose we just ran out of things to say to one another.
The walls in the blue room caught fire not that long ago, this is the last and best record of the ashes.

What color? (sorry)
laurenrabbit replied
oh, I knew what you meant. I just have no idea of the surface or color. Have to wipe everything away before I start over, then the room tells me what it wants to be.

“then the room tells me what it wants to be.”
I say the same thing about rocks. They tell me how they should be arranged in the garden.

There is a different look about you, compared with the birthday shots from years past.
Looking up and out – so yes, time for something new.
I like the glass of water – half full, not half empty? :-)
The walls tell you what they want, but more important, you are telling yourself what you need.
