Word of the Day

I've seen, and been inspired by, many "photo a day" projects, so I thought I'd try one myself, with my own little grammarian spin: create a photo using a Word of the Day gadget on my Google homepage for guidance and inspiration. And what better day than January 27, my thirtieth birthday, to begin such an undertaking? (Okay, maybe new year's day, but I was too lazy to bother then.) This project is also to help keep me thinking and creating images the way DGrin's Last Photographer Standing contest has challenged me to do--a challenge I've found really enjoyable and creatively stimulating. Wish me luck (and perseverance) in this endeavor!

    July 15, 2008 (Day 171) Fiduciary: relating to the holding of something in trust for another This actually ended up being easier to pull together than I thought when the idea first popped into my head. I may have missed my calling as a special effects make-up artist. :DI give you "Liplock."
    July 14, 2008 (Day 170) Cupidity: eager or excessive desire, especially for wealth Last week was sort of hellish where work was concerned, so I let this project sit idly by. Looks like it did some good, as I got a bit of inspiration back for today's image. Yay!Who doesn't like a little cold, hard cash?Yes, those are euros. I thought I'd used them all up before coming back home from my trip, but I found a secret stash of leftover bills in my bag. Thank goodness, or else I wouldn't have been able to take this picture. I never have cash on me.
    July 6, 2008 (Day 162) Palaver: idle talk; also, to talk idly Had an idea for today, but was I swept away by movies, so here's another from vacation.These were our guides on the Isle of Mull, John and Kevin (L to R). I spoke more with John, who was very talented at painting watercolors in miniature while waiting for us crazy photographers to wrap up at a location. He had his own travel watercolor kit that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I asked if he would paint one to give away, and a few weeks ago I received in the mail my own small watercolor from him. It made me cry. He is the sweetest man.In this shot I was resting in the van talking with John, and I raised my camera to take a picture while he was leaning--and he immediately stood up straight and posed. I laughed and lowered my camera, asking to lean in again as that was the picture I was trying to get. He happily obliged. :) I love this picture because it brings back in a bright swoosh the feel and memory of the place, and the love I had for the company and for being there.
