The Starting Time, this is as clear as I could get it. Taking pictures of digital clocks is hard.
Black dominates, but summer is coming.
A dog that likes to chew stuff and a book from the 19th century do not belong together.
What's more open than a dog? Look at that sincere face.
The Phoenix, The Beast, and Prof. X are sad, they think their friends are dead.
This is sooo abstract, can anybody tell me what it is?
A clock, exactly 20 minutes after the previous clock picture. You might not be able to see the time, but, um, anyone who can't see the time is unfit for their position! (Hey, it worked on the Emperor)
I chose to do this blog at home. I chose home because it has the most freedom. It was frustrating getting stuff in focus. The ones with Roxie (my boxer breed dog) worked the best. The one with her standing is the only photo that worked in the first go.
I really liked your photos, especially because they seemed to be going along a pattern, and then did a bit of a madcap veer off into another direction (I mean when you went from "physical" things to a comic). I really liked that. Though, isn't that the power of comics, and all literature? That they channel emotions?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I believe that abstract one is your a finger over the lens of the camera. Or rather, it looks like it. If so, then congratulations. That might be the first time that a finger over the lens made a desirable photo.
If not, then I'm way "off base," and you might need to call me "out."
Nope, that is not my finger.
DeleteAh, so I got caught up. I'm going to go rest in the dugout for a while....
DeleteAnd stop talking in baseball references (I really have no idea where those came from).
Mark,
ReplyDeleteI love that you used your dog for openness-so true. Talk about unconditional love! I also enjoyed your humour (and trust) at placing a 19th century book near her mouth!
Taking picture of digital clock IS very hard! Flash or no flash, it doesn't work. I actually like how your first one came out though.
The human emotion X-Men is a great use of feeling and comics!
Is the abstract of your wall?
Mark, I love these photos, even more so with the accompanying captions. The one of Roxie with the book made me laugh out loud for real, and I love the line "Taking pictures of digital clocks is hard." Taking photo of TVs is hard, too. Grrr. I also like this line, "Back dominates, but summer is coming." You write poetry! Thank you for your work.
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr. Cook -- your photos are great, and your captions are the icing on the cake! My personal favorite is the openness of your dog. I completely agree with you: animals in general are very open, loving creatures, and this photo really captures that. Also I'm going to take a guess on your abstract picture: is it your thumb in front of the lens? Did I win???
Great job, Mark!
