Burning my brain cells to meet the deadline;
Thick jail bars between windows keep my confined.
While trapped inside the cell of my mind
I almost forgot how beautiful it was outside.

This is an old photo of mine from my days as an architecture student. Taken on June 20, 2009 at around 6am – was working all night in the studio all alone. During late nights working away I burn my brain ‘cells’. Sometimes the walls between the windows look like jail bars, but even so the sunlight pouring into the space was beautiful; and the lack of human presence made the morning even more beautiful. There were also sometimes raccoons on the roof next door peeping into to space :P
The poem I came up with recently; one morning, as I woke up I saw a yellow edge around my door and thought I forgot to turn the lights out the night before… Turned out to be the sunshine… I almost forgot how beautiful it was…
Taken as is, straight from the camera, with an Olympus FE-340

Here is another photo of my cell:

And speaking of cell; I’ve also made a case for those famous apple ‘cell’ phones! Meanwhile today, Oct 23, is iPod day! Not that I expect to really ‘cell’ these…

nice work

Wrote a bit of it one night, came back to it and revised it a bit on Oct 18, 2012; almost a week before posting.

So this is why you chose origami…..lol
You are actually on the dot… as stated on my profile I found RB as a result of having doubts about whether I wanted to continue architecture – and while being interactive here suddenly came up with a creative way to present origami. Thank you KJ.
Great poem and well illustrated with this image. The poem really speaks to me. That’s how deadlines feel!
True indeed, now you got me thinking of office chickens! Perhaps in these state of mind we are in strange new worlds… Speaking of which, that will be my next upload over the weekend. Thank you Cindy!
the poem perfectly fits the picture
Nicely done . . .
Thank you Hugh; just came up with new ideas and added more to the description…
thought provoking and well done
great capture!
Just added a bit more to the verse as I was making a few products on Zazzle…
And no matter how my day goes,
You always diminish my woes.
As the light through my window shines through,
I look forward to coming home to you.

Great lines, light and shadowa! A space is so transformed in the early morning light and with the absence of people bringing the noise and hustle bustle of the work day! I Love the old building that you can see thru the window and wonder if the students often gazded at it and used it for inspiration?
Thanks Joanne! Nah, the students were not interested in that building itself; They were more amused by the raccoons that were living on the rooftop :o)
