In my mind, he's still a fragile little infant who requires my careful attention and complete devotion for his livelihood. Truth is, he's a spirited toddler. And he tumbles and scrapes those knees. I scoop him up, wrap my arms around him, assure and comfort him, apply necessary band-aids or a simple smootch. He's off again...
Last of the crazy colour shots from my super expired roll of film.
The photo is actually of a series of rolls of tape at Michael's workplace.
Tummy in the spotlight-- I wanted to take a picture of myself inside my favourite exhibit, the Fragile Forest. One of the docents (volunteers) who was around agreed to leave her group to snap this picture with rather amusing results: it highlights my generous midriff, losing as I am the ongoing Battle of the Bulge. (Singapore, Oct. 2009)
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

Fragile - Sting
No filter. This lichen was in the lakebed right after it rained and was a flash of color among the wet and dark foliage. Taken with my macro lens on my phone.
I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity.

Taken for Creativity Exercise #32: A Classic Artist's Exercise (November 2012) on Clickin Moms.
From Sarah, creator of this challenge:
"Drawing an egg is a classic fine art exercise for those working in chalk, charcoal, or pencil. It’s a great way to study form and the way light and shadow work together to establish depth, dimension, and even mood. For this month’s creativity exercise, I challenge you to photograph one or more eggs. While drawing inspiration from the classic exercise (single egg, dramatic light) is a wonderful photographic undertaking and will no doubt produce some beautiful and unexpectedly creative work, you need not necessarily limit yourself to a classic white eggs in whole form. Expand it into a color study with brown eggs; crack an egg and focus on the shapes and textures of the break; splatter an egg on the floor and explore the yolk and shattered shell photographically; remove it from the expected kitchen or farmyard environment. Remember, too, that you can utilize the metaphorical significance an egg or eggs can have as well. Ultimately, what you choose to do with the subject is your artistic prerogative!"

I'm feeling fragile tonight
not quite right
I don't even want to rhyme
I just want embrace the darkness
Shut out all that is light
Pretend that he is wrapped around me
smothering out my negative feelings
as he presses me to his chest
his heart's rhythm soothing my unsettled soul
He makes me whole
or at least, fills many of the holes
which I burned into myself with fire and rage
when I disengaged from the good me
and blinded myself with lust and apathy
I'm stuck inside my own head
a violent vortex of anxious thoughts and dread
I don't even know how to end this now
I wish somebody could tell me how.
At the RBSA in Birmingham until 19th October.
I can recommend this textile exhibition which shows an amazing range of textile and mixed media works
"Sunny Bank Mills:The fragility of memory in the absence of place 3" by Jane Walkley. Detail
Cotton, steel, jesmonite,mill dust and clay residue
Not all eggs hatch. Those that don't hatch still make it to different stages though. Some are never fertilised, some get almost to hatching but the chick is too weak. Sometimes the chick hatches right out, but is too weak to survive. For some reason this one failed partway through development (notice the size of the yolk). You can see something about how chicks develop here too, how the chick seems perfectly formed, curled up around and connected to its yolk. It's also a reasonable glimpse at what an amazing packing job it is to get a chick into an egg...
Seeing this for the first time made me think about the fragility and complexity of individual lives in a different way. Quite awe inspiring.
my work for group exhibition in Mar.
I dropped my new lens after taking this photo, so that's why I chose the title "fragile"
New 8.5" x 11" on paper.

An appearance of delicacy, and even of fragility, is almost essential to it [beauty].

A fragile vase arrived intact from Turkey. It's a lovely reminder of a summer adventure.
MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK - "Time Turned Fragile"
Tiny hands, recycled cans, the metal bands I could not stand..
The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor...
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
You used to say that you're just fine,
But I still wonder all the time.
Hockey games, medical claims, police reports, terrible grades,
J, I'm so proud of all the things that you have done.
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
I'm alright, I'm alright.
I can see through everything you say, and all the lessons I never learned..
You used to say that you're just fine,
But I still wonder all the time.
Do you still believe in the stories told
To you by my friends and I when you were four years old?
How it got so cold that words just froze
We had to wait 'til summer to find out what was said
One of the best times that we had.
I know I say that I'm just fine,
But I hope you wonder from time to time.
I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart
(Are muscles tearing us apart?)
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise
(I was never taken by surprise.)
From the sounds that disappear to the changes we begin to fear
(I can hear you clearly.)
One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories
(All we are are memories.)
Life is fragile. I took this picture over 30 years ago at Metamora-Hadley State Park near Flint, Michigan. The soft pastels of the flowers and the delicate background combined to make this enduring photo of fragility.
“We all mold one another's dreams. We all hold each other's fragile hopes in our hands. We all touch others' hearts.”
Leptodea fragilis
State listed as Endangered in Vermont
The Fragile Papershell is found in various sized bodies of water, from headwater streams to rivers and lakes. It can also inhabit mud, gravel, and even found in sand. This freshwater mussel can grow up to six inches long and is oblong shaped. When mating, the males release sperm into the water which is taken in by the females through their respiratory current. The eggs are internally fertilized and then pass into the water through the gills where they attach themselves to host fish to relocate. Generally, they breed once a year during the warmer months. The age of a mussel can be determined by looking at annual rings on the shell! Like all mussels, the fragile papershell is rather sedentary, although may move with current or with the help of a host if water levels or conditions change. Mussels are ecological indicators, their presence in a body of water indicate good water quality. They can filter up to fifteen gallons of water a day; a six mile stretch of mussel bed can filter out over 25 tons of particulates per year. Currently there is intense research at Yale University, Stanford University and the NOAA (to name a few) about using mussels to clean fouled waters.
The Fragile Papershell is prayed on by muskrats, racoons, minks, otters, and some birds. Juvenile mussels are also fed upon by lake sturgeon, spotted suckers, redhorse and some other fish. There is a specific mite that feeds on mussel and can destroy about half of their gills. These natural predators are not the root cause of the radical diminishing population of freshwater mussels today. Construction of dams, regulation of river flows, and gravel mining, alter the river bottom habitat. Currently the building of and maintaining dams is a controversial issue. To build a dam one must get a permit, post public notices and it is overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers. Dam removal has in recent years been used as a tool to restore rivers while addressing the on-going problems of aging, and deteriorating, infrastructure. Of the 1,200 known dams in Vermont, many no longer serve a useful purpose and impose legal and financial burdens on their owners. In some cases, removal of these dams makes sense for economic, public safety, ecological or social reasons. The state has published a user’s guide to removed dams in Vermont.

"You think you see me
Like the way I'm strong and stand by you
I am fragile too, I am fragile too
Yeah, I will be fine
As the time goes by
It may hurt at nights
But I will be fine
I will be just fine
They think they know me
And everything that they consider me
They think I never cry."
Lyrics to "Fragile" by Kerli.
I've had this idea since the last guy that I "dated" rejected me, which has now been a few months ago. He had given me one of these shells on one of our first dates and I kept it in my coat pocket. One of the nights after being rejected, while at a grocery story, I searched in my pocket for the shell only to find crumbs. The shell broke to pieces just as our potential relationship had.
I enjoy how this piece turned out. At first I wondered if I should have drawn the hand in a slightly different position in each frame but now I think I made the right decision not to. I wanted to show the shell crumbling on it's own without any of my own, physical interference.
I am excited to continue practicing more comic-like drawings, for one day I will get my graphic novel idea finished and the illustrations started. One day!
