It's easier for me than a notebook. I can't lose it, and I like seeing the things I'm thinking about/doing/want to do. Both friends and strangers often ask what it says, and just the other night as a friend inquired about it over a game of pool (which I won but only because he scratched. but still - i got four in a row in one turn!) I decided then to take pictures maybe weekly or so of a day in the life of my left hand.
Kind of a photo album meets journal of sorts.
Here's the first.

Great idea. But how will you resist the urge to edit?
ReplyDeleteIf you write only certain things because they'd make a good photo, you lose your hand as an effective note-taking medium.
Just sayin'....

love the idea angela!! it would be sweet to do a collective post with different left hand notes from all kinds of bloggers!!
ReplyDeleteon a different note..a little sweet book lounge/coffee bar opened here in san luis obispo this past week called kreuzberg! they brought a little of berlin to slo. love!

good idea jen! as i enter this world more often and with more force, i should certainly enact a "CALLING ALL" for a gallery here from bloggers all over. ooh, & mmmm, on kreuzberg. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, jfk, i thought about that and want to do my best to shoot them when they're not just "cool" or romantic or something. i hesitated that night even because "Citi" is a banal reminder to pay my credit card! ha. (Berlin was for a package I have to send there, and Blue Shoes a video I have to edit)...Maybe I should enforce a day of the week? Hand shots on Thursdays only?
xo.
p.s. excellent initials.
