TODAY'S
PHOTO -
a sun hat with shadows cast by the sun going
through the openings in the hat.
Sam Finkelstein shot, developed and printed this
dramatic photo of me more than 30 years ago and
it's timeless. I thought of the image yesterday
as I was reflecting on hats in Issue
177 and so, as promised, I share it with you
today.
Today, with no further comments from me, I let the
photo speak to you in whatever way it does.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
A couple of thoughts come up as I reflect on possible
queries for today. We could go with the wide brim
which despite it softness suggests protection. Oftentimes
we think we are protected and are we really?
Or,
we could reflect on the shadows. To me the word
"shadows" connotes the possibility of
danger. And, in art, shadows often help define and
give meaning to the subject.
What imagery comes up for you when you think of
"shadows?" I invite you to write and/or
draw, paint, photograph, if you wish. I also suggest
that you spend some time looking for shadows cast
by any kind of light, in addition to sunlight.
And, as always, have fun!
READERS' RESPONSES -
One of our subscribers, whose permission I'm awaiting
to use his name, wrote a very poignant response
yesterday with his own hat story. To read it, go
to ARMY
HAT .
If anyone else has a hat story you'd like to share,
I will add it to the PTP Response pages, if you
wish. Email
it, along with a photo if you have, to me with permission
to use your name.
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from
Sondra,
who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing
of her father done by me?
Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee
Kleckner on our AUDIO
LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy
it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice
there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if
you are person of a few words.
I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder
and on the testimonial
page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself
at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish,
e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way
you in and simply listen while you talk.
