retratos de detalles. 01

in the past few years, i have had a "daily october project" of some kind. maybe not last year? it is a good exercise and i have ended up with some pretty good stuff. i love the idea of a timed project. so i have decided to do it this year, too. starting today i will make portraits of details. i can use lots of my old images, there are so many unpublished ones and it is a good chance to go back and examine them and reflect. i actually *want* to use the old images and not try to shoot new ones every day, although i will likely be inspired to make some new pictures. i notice i am not shooting as many details as "big pictures" lately, and i think that is a commentary on how i am looking at my life too often. it is good to look and appreciate the small and close.

then, with the images made each day, i will turn them into 31 objects - all 5 x 7 - and not one per day! gah! do i want to go crazy? they will be completed by the end of the month and then i will show them. the objects will only use available art materials, of which i have many.

it will be fun.
