Photography Play
I have an old (circa 2005) point-and-shoot Canon Powershot, but I've found that my iPhone 3 actually takes better pictures sometimes! One advantage of the Powershot is the macro mode that allows easy focused close-ups. I played with the two cameras to make this little series of pictures that explore texture and pattern over a landscape.
Another Face
I've re-faced another composition book for the purpose of taking notes when I'm stuck in the house and heated political discussions are sparked. I normally get very flustered over anything on television, news coverage (as poor as it is in general), and politics (all of it, all sides). I've decided that having a journal in the house, since I'm now sharing a common home with others and can't control my exposure to any of the aforementioned elements, specifically for writing down my frustrated blurts, questions, and worries will help me deal with the anxiety.
So here's my collage cover:

Thoughts and Pictures
Whew! It has been a while since I've been here!
In my recent move I lost my office and visual journaling workspace. In fact, I'm squeezed into my own private bedroom, with a single bed, books stuffed everywhere they'll fit, shared clothing space, and all the benefits, but also drawbacks, of a communal living space outside the room. Otherwise known as: living with your parents.
For the next year, prior to heading off for another graduate degree, I'll be living here and studying philosophy and religion as a foundation for the advanced degree. I'm still working on my visual journaling, though! And I've created a second blog!

This summer I'm revisiting Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, which I discuss in the Synchronicity entry on the other blog. Here is the cover I collaged for the companion journal I'm using:
