Can nothing be an important concept in itself? This poem pays homage to the invention of zero as a number, in the form of a rhyming riddle. And (foolishly for my sanity) I decided to add the constraint that the first letter of each line would spell out the alphabet. (Check out the text version here )

This is one of my Guinea Pigs. / He’s a sweet little fellow, and lives together with my other Guinea Pig and four rabbits. For some days I’ve noticed this one is getting slimmer.. so that’s not good.. so I decided to give them all more food than usual, but the other’s were gaining weight and this one wasn’t.. so today I took him on my lap and tried to feed him extra, without the others getting the chance to take away his food. And in the beginning when he was on my lap he looked very scared, his eyes wide open and not wanting to take food from my hand… after a while he became calmer and was eating… / But then he got scared again from some noise he heared… this photo is taken when he was scared… and he looked at me like he was saying: “Get me outta here.. I’m scared woman!” so I cuddled him and then put him back with his friends :) thanks to all who have supported me during this hard time.. unfortunately this little dude lost his battle and went off to guinea-heaven… I put an update in my RB journal this card has had one sale yet =D

Male Model: Letter M Alphabet Soup Group. When I was in Covent Garden in London recently I was captivated by this male model and a photographer shooting in the upper gallery of Covent Garden. I was only a few feet away, so when I raise my Nikon D700 to snap a few myself, I got some strange looks from them both:)) Hope I don’t steal anyone’s thunder. But I just felt some of the shots I snapped were worth sharing with you all. This one’s been colour popped, his dress was quite traditional about a hundred years ago. Time sometimes stands still in London. /
Savior of a Language This photograph is of a Cherokee shawl, a plate of the Cherokee alphabet (found miraculously at a yard sale many years ago) with a merged photo of a bust of sequoyah from a museum. Sequoyah was born between 1760 and 1770 five miles from the original Cherokee capital of Chota in Tuskegee, now part of Tennessee. At that time, the Cherokees were an independent nation still living on their original tribal lands. They were coexisting with the British Colonies as equal neighbors and were making seperate trade agreements with the government. / Sequoyah’s mother ‘Wurteh’ belonged to a prominent Cherokee family, whose three brothers and nephew were all chiefs. Sequoyah’s father was probably a white shopkeeper, named Nathaniel Gist with whom Wurteh lived until he went home to Virginia, while Sequoyah was still an infant. Gist had nothing further to do with either of them and died before Sequoyah became famous. / Wurteh brought up Sequoyah in a little cabin in the Overhills country, resembling a fullblood, was interested in everything and became a blacksmith and self-taught silversmith. He was naturally mechanical and a gifted artist whose special talent was for drawing animals. He married, had a family of four sons and settled on some land in the village of Tallahassee, not far from his birthplace. / As a very young man he had noticed the power that the ability to read gave the white man. He began to think and talk, both jokingly and seriously, about creating an equivalent advantage for the Cherokees. / About 1806 he and other Cherokees were forced off their land, and he moved his family to Alabama. In 1809 he started working on the syllabary, with a pair of silver spurs on which he had a friend stamp his Cherokee name in English letters – sitting for hours turning the spurs in his hand, thinking and jotting down tentative ideas on wood shingles. He used his nephew’s speller and some printed alphabets lent by missionaries for ideas as to the function of the letters. For the sounds of the letters represented he had to rely on his own powers of analysis, since he knew no English at all at this time. / The alphabets he saw are supposed to have included English, Hebrew and Greek. / During the Creek War of 1813-1814, he fought against the Creek for the US Government, interrupting his work, but after injuring his leg, he returned to the syllabary zealously until the cabin that contained all his work burnt down. / Migrating to Arkansas, he started over on the syllabary, reducing 200 letters to 86, remarried in 1815 and in 1821 was granted a hearing before the tribal council presenting written messages between his daughter and himself, proving writing worked just as well in Cherokee as in English. The council was impressed and Sequoyah began teaching youths and in a few months the whole nation was reading and writing the Official Cherokee alphabet in 1821. / In 1825, a medal was struck for him by the US and he began Cherokee periodical printed in Cherokee. He also visited Washington on behalf of the Cherokees in 1827, prior to the ‘Trail of Tears’. In 1839, as the president of the Westaern Cherokees, with his cousin George Lowrey, the president of the Eastern Band, they co-signed an Act of Union, uniting the two previously separated and warring tribes. / In 1842, he set off to Mexico looking for dissident members of the tribe, apparently becoming ill and dying around San Fernando, Mexico in 1843, where his grave has never been found. Like so many traditional heroes of other nations, he had vanished into legend, leaving a legacy of an alphabet, language and writing skills for his people.
