TODAY'S
PHOTO -
a sun hat with shadows cast by the
sun going through the openings in the hat.
Sam 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.
