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 22, 2008 (Day 178) Gamine: an urchin; also, a mischievous girl or young woman Testing out an idea for the DGrin Challenge. I was going for "nymph."The masking is very messy. After four hours working on this, I finally said, "Screw it--it's my daily and a rough draft of an idea. Let it go." If I decide to pursue this, I'm definitely going to change my approach to adding the bokeh spots. This way was too much a PITA. :X
    July 21, 2008 (Day 177) Supernumerary: exceeding a necessary or usual number I consider myself a unique woman, but I freely admit that I exhibit "typical" female tendencies in some departments. Namely shoes and handbags. I have 30+ pairs of shoes and 10 handbags.Four years ago, I actually refused to own a purse because it was too girly. Then I met a very fashionable friend who indirectly influenced me. This also led to my first purchase of a pink piece of clothing, which soon led to these very girly pink flip-flops, replete with big, pink rhinestone flowers. Yeah, I'm such a girl.Edit: Give yesterday's image image some viewing love? SM's downtime buried it, poor thing.
    July 20, 2008 (Day 176) Insensate: lacking sensation or awareness Sometimes, even I don't understand the images my head comes up with. :PI call this "Fashion Senseless."
