Alright, I found it! I’m beginning to realise just who you are!

- Hmmm… I know it sounds terribly vain, but that does make me wonder who you see and who I am! Ha ha… I’m up to 121 now… How many does one need before one can start thinking about making a book out of them? Maybe 300, so you can cull mercilessly?

Two questions for you:
I have a flckr slideshow on my sidebar just as you do, but with random pics. How would you feel about me putting your slideshow on my space? I think that it would be terribly more interesting than random stuff from people I don’t have any connection to. Let me know.

Second, are you getting more visitors because of Vibrant Nation, that is, is it worth joining?

Answer to Question 1 – I would be very honoured. Do you need my Flickr info? (I need to update my stuff there… I need more time to keep up with all the blogging and facebook and email. Plus have time for living.)

Answer to Question 2. I get visitors on Vibrant Nation – the blog is mirrored there so the stats don’t get added to the main blog stats. I’ve been on there since May – it took a while, but I have built up a following. I think the last time I asked (they don’t send you stats) I was getting about 2000 hits a month there and met some interesting, intelligent people. So I would say it’s worth joining.

Yes, I think I need some kind of flickr link to insert into the widget. Thanks.

Somewhere you asked, “What next?” Consider a triptograph per week? I probably don’t realize the effort of such a challenge but maybe it’s another way to get your photos up and viewed. I’m glad I popped on this page and saw the montage of your photos….very powerful. Love the color, movement, combination of words and shadings. Awesome~!

- Excellent idea… I will keep that in mind… storytelling pictorial essays… hmmm…
  
  I put this page up when I was around 100 of them I think… I’ve really evolved over the year – the earlier ones were a lot more filly as learned Photoshop and also came to grips with what I was doing. And I used to hand letter, which I liked, except they were often to hard to read. Definitely inspired by Kenneth Patchen and Colin McCann… I have to say, I am proud of them… Glad you enjoy!

It’s still 2013

I'm part of Post A Day 2013

Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.

But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.

Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.

Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

Short fiction

These days it's all about the Photopo, but I also write fiction. You can find some of my short stories here.

One photo every day (well, almost every day) taken to a different dimension, funny, poignant, sad, hopefully clever... Observations about living in this world and pondering the possibilities of others. To view the archive, click here.

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
