As I am having battery/charger problems with my camera (which can only take about four photos before it runs out of charge...please bear that in mind when viewing my photos. Set-ups and re-shoots are damned near impossible for the time being...hopefully later on this week they'll be able to order and procure a battery for me in-store...until then, please pity me.
(My Interpretation)
Day 1: Silence
As I consider myself an undiscovered writer...I feel not putting pen to paper is the ultimate silence. Words have built countries, torn them down, influenced people, made them laugh, and brought them to tears. You can travel anywhere just by reading words...you can get inside someone's head or travel to a whole other time in space and further into that space than you could ever have imagined. Imagination is limitless...it's like a grand piano waiting for the maestro to play a legendary concerto. Writing are the keys that pianist plays...leave those keys unplayed...and again...only silence.
(I apologize for not getting the links right. When I see how everyone else does them I will be able to just "fix it" later. Please bear with them until that happens. Thank you.)
Oh, I can relate to this! I've had this kind of silence quite a bit over the last few months. Great take on the theme, Mariann!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great depiction of silence. Any blogger can readily identify with the "silent" blank page, which you've nicely illustrated here. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI think the photo itself says it all. Nicely done!
ReplyDelete;-)
Love the photo and the text! I'm not a writer, but a blank page is terrifying when you really want to express those things in your head!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I wish I had a writing space like that. Very nice. I'm truly in awe of the photographers whose presence I'm in with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Sorry you're having blogger issues. I was having problems yesterday with the program adding extra spaces between every line. Drove me crazy having to delete them over and over again. Good luck with getting that fixed & sounds like you need a new camera battery.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great photo, Mariann. And your write up makes it even more so. You can see the paper longing for the pen to finally come to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic interpretation of silence, and one I never even thought of. Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone. I will leave comments on all the non-competitive contestants a little while later. I just took a tiny Ambien.
ReplyDeleteI am figuring I will photograph something either "normal" or "under Ambien influence" and then later, when the Ambien really kicks in later (like my write-up this time around)...do the blurb explaining my photo. That way I am pouring out much, much, much more of me (the embarrassing bits) that I'd never stop myself from putting because I'm too whacked out on Ambien to stop myself! It will be like a photography AND a science lab experiment combined. ;)

Perfectly framed and a great idea. OF course, you wrote something amazing after that.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I can DEFINITELY relate to this type of silence!
ReplyDeleteOh my, excellent idea, Mariann. I never would've thought of that. It's totally original, and I think any writer can relate. It's a maddening silence....
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than the silence of that damned writer's block. It was very clever of you to think of this interpretation!
ReplyDeleteThank you again. Such nice words coming from fellow writers - almost make me speechless. :)
ReplyDeletegreat depiction of silence. That would be me too. Give me a pen and paper... nothing. A computer - and something. I look forward to doing this with you.
