When I read the prompt I knew exactly which photo I would like to use, the only problem was I didn't have a printed copy but I did have negatives. It was before my digital days so I trekked to the photo store to get a print and because I wanted matte, I couldn't get it until tomorrow. Too late for LOAD. So I switched gears and picked another photo--that I couldn't find. While I was looking for the second photo, I found the this one. Funny how things work out because this is truly my favorite photo and all the more precious because I know someday it will probably become faded. Glad to finally have it preserved so I can enjoy it while it lasts. I love LOAD!
Prompt: Create a 19th century photograph of a Civil War soldier laid on a photography table, with the figure emerging from the photograph in a three-dimensional bas relief.
As per the name of the album I'm putting this in, I felt this was a great "writing prompt" photo. In English/Language Arts classes (at least in elementary and middle school), students are sometimes given a "writing prompt" - a picture that inspires them to write a story about it. Over the years, I have taken a number of photos that I thought would make great writing prompts. This is one of them. I finally decided to create an album of my "writing prompt" pictures.
Regarding this photo, I was driving to work one day, and as I was turning off my street onto a main road, I noticed this bouquet of flowers lying in the road, off to the side. I wasn't able to stop to photograph them, as much as I wanted to. There just wasn't time. When I came home from work, I looked to see if they were still there. They were. So, I was able to get the shot.

Vivienne's little note at the end of today's prompt was just what I needed to hear. I have probably taken on more than I should have this month, pushing myself to be more creative, do more healing things, just DO MORE!! It's been so long since I felt well enough to do this much, and I definitely got carried away.
I've been stressed at being behind here, wanting to "do it right" and the prompts in order, but I've been missing the community most of all. So I took your advice, Vivienne, and let it all go so I could focus on today's self-portrait. I can "catch up" on the rest later.
So . . . to replenish myself, I went out and played today. In this shot, I am about to go down a slide in a playground - something I have not done in many years. And it was just as cool as I remembered. :)
Several of the armless construction on this street are prompted for being replaced as of..2008-2009 I'm guessing was when this was shot. This is one of the poles on the street that still have those smaller white porcelain insulators, once energized at 13.8kv if I'm correct.
I've always found it a real shame to see these particular constructions going extinct since I've always felt they added a unique variety to the CL&P lines.
The Joker I made prompted a challenge from my daughter for a Batman 'bot. Finally was able to get my head wrapped around it and spent some time bringing him to life. She chose a retro style (thank goodness...Dark Knight would have been very detailed!!) and I had a blast figuring out how to get it to work out. Made my own patterns for the details, Bai picked out the vintage buttons for the eyes (yes I know he would traditionally have white, but we both agreed blue was fine...and less creepy). Is this cool, or what? I am saying very awesome in my opinion :) (I think he needs a mouth. Will add that.)
Happy early birthday baby girl...even if she is going to be 14.

this picture was an accident. i had some sermon notes in my sketchbook and decided to try the shadow shape thing over the notes because the page was kind of wasted. i love this and hope to do a larger version.
So I had a play with AI generated imaged today. We're here are visiting balancing ducks unite so I gave it some prompts of where to place the duck!
The prompt for this one was "giant rubber duck balancing on the Niagara falls"
Wow is all I can say.
Coming to Jones Road Part 1
This series was prompted by Ringgold's move from Harlem to Englewood, New Jersey, in 1992 and the resistance she experiences from the predominantly white neighbourhood when she was building a new studio. In response to this hostility, she researched the journey of escaped slaves from the Southern to Northern American states on the Underground Railroad to New Jersey. The landscapes in this series are inspired by the woodland garden at her house and studio on Jones Road, coincidentally also Ringgold's maiden name.

From Faith Ringgold
(June to September 2019)
As an artist, activist and children’s author Faith Ringgold (b. 1930, Harlem, New York) has challenged perceptions of African American identity and gender inequality for over five decades. Growing up in the creative and intellectual context of the Harlem Renaissance and inspired by her contemporaries including writers James Baldwin and Amiri Baraka she is widely recognised for her painted story quilts combining personal narratives, history and politics ‘to tell my story, or, more to the point, my side of the story’, as an African American woman.
This survey exhibition, Ringgold’s first in a European institution, is chronological and includes paintings, political posters and story quilts. It begins with American People (1963 – 67), a series that exposes social inequalities and racial tensions she witnessed during the Civil Rights era, and culminates in her response to the Black Power movement. In the 1970s, her work and politics embraced feminism as she led protests outside New York museums demanding equal gender and racial representation in exhibitions, designed political posters and co-organised the People’s Flag Show for which she was arrested.
Ringgold’s paintings shifted in the 1970s from traditional oils to her first unstretched works bordered with pieced fabric, inspired by Tibetan tanka paintings. The exhibition includes her tankas from the Feminist, Slave Rape and abstract Windows of the Wedding Series Ringgold made in collaboration with her mother Willi Posey, a fashion designer. This led in the 1980s to Ringgold’s first story quilts where she was able to finally ‘publish’ her writings. She said ‘there’s so much freedom in “Freedom of Speech”, I could write whatever I wanted on my art – no one could stop me’. These works weave image and text in the tradition of quilting passed on through the female line of her family from her great-great grandmother who was born into slavery. From Harlem rooftops and jazz clubs, to a graffiti-filled New York subway and a radical biography of Aunt Jemima, the face of a pancake mix brand, Ringgold’s affirmative quilts celebrate a myriad of life, culture and aspiration. Her later quilt series Coming to Jones Road and the American Collection return to voice African American histories, including that of the Underground Railroad. As cultural assumptions and prejudices persist, Ringgold’s work retains its contemporary resonance.

When I was a tiny girl, my mom would always pick me up and set me beside her in her large comfy chair. I would curl up in her lap, holding a piece of her silky nightgown (the one I am wearing in the photo) or robe in my hand as I fell asleep. It was so comforting for some reason and to this day relaxes me if I feel restless. I am no longer small enough to fit in anyone's lap, nor do I have my mother or the chair, but I find the same comfort in the memory of her and the love she had for me. I miss my mother so much these days and so, naturally, this prompt brought about memories of her before any others. :)
The project is developed using various pre-set text-to-image models, processing text prompt inputs. On the borderline between sensitive content and an easy slip into topics of violence, this project visualizes the depths of the subconscious of these models, excavating the influences of media and online information exchange. The quantified traces of reality and collective histories allow algorithms to generate content that recycles the past – building the spine of quasi-historical narratives – often obfuscated with prejudice and misinformation, along with the author’s personal bias. Generated outputs are presented inside a hypertext object – a tent that the audience can enter, as it were.
