Looking out from the summit of Mt. Isolation. I was fortunate and was able to see something on this otherwise overcast day.
SOCIAL ISOLATION..... It’s what we as writers do every single time we stand at a wall..
I didn’t see a soul today, I normally ride my bike and see 100’s of other people exercising, today I chose to paint something quick and simple and was probably “safer” than most.... Do your thing, just do it wisely ?
'Isolation Still Life Series'
'Notebooks with White Braille'
April 16th April 2020
I am taking the opportunity to make some still lives while isolating at home during the Covid-19 outbreak. A form of photographic diary; this work attempts to reflect our shared sense of uncertainty and alienation. Representing a fresh familiarity with the domestic, and the revelatory appearance of objects we live with daily; which have taken on a metaphorical weight they seemed to lack before. Shot on 4x5 sheet film and processed at home.
Braille to Text: "Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose" - William Cowper
Standing on cold and windy bridges is a thing of the past ... for now anyway .... and rightly so. So a little man-cave trainspotting at Dairybeck and Holcoates with a 60's flavour.
The European Parliament in co-operation with Irish Rural Link hosted a seminar on rural isolation in Ennis, Co Clare on Friday, 28th February 2014. Phil Prendergast MEP was in attendance and a special guest speaker was Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, the former RTE sports commentator. The meeting was held from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm in the West County Hotel, Ennis. The seminar heard from experts in the field but the main purpose of the meeting was to seek proposals as to how the problem of rural isolation can be alleviated and develop polices to target the problem.
today was a day I woke up, but was in s much pain. I sat in front of the window by my bed from 9AM until 11AM. Stuck, I really couldn't, then finally the uncontrollable coughing stop, main pain cleared just enough for me to walk to the bathroom and back to my bed. I drank from my jug of water by my bed my friend Allison replaced after walking my dogs. I know she was here cause I think we spoke. Her voice can be so calming at times. I finally got out of bed about 8pm. Still in lots of pain but this time I'll get to see my friend when she arrives to walk my dogs this evening.
This has been a pretty stressful week for me. I lost a very close friend of 35 years, I learned my ex has lost his best friend to a pool accident and my locs had been falling out but Monday I woke to a bunch of them on my pillow. To think I haven't even started chemotherapy yep.
Interior #5: Isolation by Sharon Loper , 2000. Cast bronze, 35" x 24" x 24"
Description from the Grounds for Sculpture website: This cast bronze by Sharon Loper, Interior #5: Isolation, is an expressive, psychological study of a nude female figure. Communicating through body language, the work depicts a thin woman emotionally and physically withdrawn, folded and crouched down in an introspective manner. The shifting, scintillating play of light on the varying textures and patinas activate the surface of the sculpture. The tactile quality tells of the artist’s classical training and traditional additive technique, one building upon a wire armature with softened, malleable clay, while the grace and quiet of the finished form speaks poetically. Through gesture and stance, Loper’s work conveys universal humanistic statements.

Isolation cells at the Constitution Hill Prison, Johannesburg. Prisoners could be confined in one of these for a month, or even longer.
The light switches are on the outside so that prison guards could turn the lights on at night and off during the day to further disorientate the prisoners.
A brown field that once made up part of May and Baker's exclusion zone. Before that it was the view looking out of Hellesdon Hall. Today it's awaiting somebody to build something boring on top of it.

I had a very nice Mother's Day and got to spend it with my wonderful family. As for my project, I was able to stop at a field on the Atlanta Highway in Montgomery and snap a few nature shots. Although I love doing this project, I did want to enjoy today with my family and especially Rylie. So, I fired off several shots of some crazy huge dandelions and this ladybug, who had plenty of his/her friends around. I know I[ve already posted a ladybug, but I really find this composition so dynamic and paired with the color isolation treatment, I just had to use this one. I cropped a little off the bottom left side, isolated only the reds and boosted their luminosity, and added some vignetting to emphasize depth. (all editing done in lr2) 1/250sec@f/5.6 ISO100 FL:50mm

Thanks, Warren Zevon, for suggesting the title:
I want to live alone in the desert
I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe
I want to live on the Upper East Side
And never go down in the street
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Michael Jackson in Disneyland
Don't have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand
And lead me through the World of Self
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Don't want to wake up with no one beside me
Don't want to take up with nobody new
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
Don't want nothing to do with you
I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows
Lying down in the dark to dream
I don't want to see their faces
I don't want to hear them scream
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
Splendid Isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid Isolation
