Back to the Image finally

I've spent a little more time away from homework and other matters, to play with my new computer's image features, scanning, and picture files features, familiarizing myself and this time managed to get my photo up on my library here. Now I don't have to be the mystery woman without a face to the words. It wasn't a big deal to me, but sometimes it's interesting to share faces.

I don't know if this means I'll be able to add photos to my poems sometimes, as I'm not a patron yet again, was in the past, but I'll try sometimes. I love working with image so I'm glad I'm getting back to that aspect, as it inspires me to do photography. I was getting into that art more than ever a while back, and if memory capacity will permit me, as it certainly should, on my new system, at home, I'll have lots of fun combining the crafts. I find it a great compliment to the writing art, and of course invaluable in sharing with friends and family our favorite shots.

We're working again on image poems in class, now, and Sylvia gave us very old photos of people and places, the kind the people look afraid of the camera in, and kind of scary to us, sometimes, in the old-fashioned clothes etc. to write poems on for our next meeting. I have one with men working on a horse-drawn hay wagon, and one of two little boys in a living room or parlour, poised formally in sailor suit and the younger one in a gown, and they're very intriguing. I love these assignments.
