What happens when you flirt with someone and they don’t flirt back? And what happens if this occurs repeatedly? How does that affect you?

I feel stupid. I feel self-conscious. I start to question myself. I begin to wonder what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. I begin to doubt my appeal to others.

In my multimedia class last night we were told that our first project is coming up and it is going to focus on close-ups. It can be of anything but it has to be close-ups.

And this made me laugh so much. Jonathan used to tease me about being the macro queen and now I’m being required to do those very same kinds of shots for a class. Whee!

We are to make an iMovie with our photos and play the movie for the class. That will be great fun. I have to think of a theme. What do I want to portray at a macro level?

First thing that comes to mind is little fingers and toes of my nieces and nephews interspersed with nature and close-ups of Dakota – things I love.

I’ll have to think on this and if you have any suggestions, please throw them my way.

I wanted to share a beautiful site with you today. It is stunning. I am so moved by these images that I can’t begin to say how much they touched me.

Gregory Colbert is doing an exhibition in Santa Monica, California, next to the pier. His exhibit, Ashes and Snow is an ongoing project that weaves together photographic works, three 35mm films, art installations and a novel in letters.

The interactions between humans and animals is breath-taking.

Please, please take a moment of your day to check out his website. And if you’re in the area, go to the exhibit. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
