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!

    Mar. 1, 2008 (Day 35) Amanuensis: one employed to take dictation or to copy manuscripts Been a little while since an all-out concept popped into my head after reading a word, so it was nice to have the spark today. I immediately thought of this pin-up-style image when I read today's word, and it was fun to shoot and process. Certainly not a perfect match for what was in my head, but very close. I had to quit shooting because those heels were killing me. :)
    Feb. 29, 2008 (Day 34) Supererogatory: going beyond what is required or expected; also, superfluous, unnecessary So "-rogatory" can have a prefix other than "de." Hunh. Fascinating.A big part of my job is getting rid of superfluous stuff in articles we receive. I love editing. I also love writing, but not quite as much as editing. It's so much easier to spot and fix the errors in others' writing than in my own. Thank goodness I have a managing editor to bounce my own articles off.Happy leap year day! I'm off to see U23D tonight. Wahoo!
    Feb. 28, 2008 (Day 33) Fallible: liable to make a mistake Home. Tired. Monosyllabic. Bed. Zzzzzz...None of us are infallible, despite what we'd like to tell ourselves.
