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!

    August 5, 2008 (Day 192) Inscribed: written upon or in something Sometimes imagination takes a little work. ;) Surprisingly, writing upside-down and left-handed on my own hand was challenging, but nowhere near as difficult as I'd thought it'd be.I'm using the OED's word today as Dictionary.com had a hiccup in its randomness and used the verb version of a word I shot just last week. I do not feel the need to shoot it again. (The word was vituperate, in case you're curious.)Day 2 of conference over.
    August 4, 2008 (Day 191) Obeisance: an expression of deference Up in Annapolis this week for a conference. Woo-hoo...pictures from a hotel room.
    August 3, 2008 (Day 190) Brummagem: cheap and showy; also, spuriousFickle: false, deceitful, treacherous Today's photo depicts gore and part of a woman's torso wearing a bra. It does not show violence or sexually explicit material. However, to prevent anyone getting in trouble during Monday's lunch break browsing, I wanted to give fair warning.Okay, warning's out of the way. Click here to view today's image. You can leave comments below if you have them.I took this image a week ago, but I've been putting off processing it. In a literal sense, it fits with today's first word (I made that wound with items I had in the house, so it's definitely cheap and showy), but I love how ironic it is when paired with OED's word for today, which is why it is also included above.I'm really not happy with the processing, but that's more to do with the fact that I really need to reshoot this, but I don't want to unless I have a model. So I like the concept, but I need to redo the execution so it actually looks like what's in my head. Maybe someday. :)Oh, I call this "Cross My Heart..."
