Photographs of Words

Photos of words. That's it. Read on!

[Well, I was going to leave it there as a nice, pithy intro. But the Squidoo system has recently taken to demanding more content in this section. So, to stop this highly ranked lens going offline, I'm padding. This is particularly difficult for me, as I'm a copywriter. But there you have it. Hopefully I now have enough words to satisfy the ROBOT. Let's see ... ]

Sleep

You know you want it!

The warm bedside lamp vies with the cold light of day. Flecks of dreams strew a button which, if it were many times larger, could pass for a portal to some futuristic chamber. At the edges, fragmented tasks compete for attention, but it's still way too early to focus!

Push

Great advice for life!

I took a dozen shots trying to capture this word. But with the harsh inside/outside light contrast, moving background and reflective, multilayered surfaces, it was very tricky. I chose this shot over ones featuring young girls on High Street shopping sprees as it adds another dimension of meaning. Also, this bloke wasn't moving so fast! :)

Scratched

It was bound to happen eventually ...

I went to a Richmond pub for a drink. But the bar had been filled with pokies and the lounge had become a betting room. So I snapped this word and fled. I love the irony of Cage Fighter being ... scratched.

Lubricant

I think we've finally run out ...

There are some wild blocks in my inner urban suburb. Millions of dollars of real estate playing host to all manner of detritus. This can looks like it has been here for a long, long time. I'm assuming it's an oil-based lubricant, which makes the corrosion something of a miracle. How patient rust is!

Out for summer.

Gotta be in it to win it!

Are we having it yet?

    The "Love" one is my favorite...and yep, it's all you need!
  • PaulHassing Feb 3, 2011 @ 1:20 pm | delete
    Thank you! It was an odd word to see on the side of an old building. It took many attempts to frame correctly. I'm so pleased you like it. :)

    Most intriguing... Always enjoy these glimpses of the world through your (camera) lens.

    Thank you for very much for that. Comments like yours keep me going out time and again! :)

    Great stuff, as ever.

    Thank you, Chris. You're consistenty kind! :)

    Very cool pictures and a very witty intro padding, lol!
  • PaulHassing Jan 22, 2011 @ 4:54 pm | delete
    Hee hee! Glad you agree, Tipi. :)

    Love the pics - I like to write poetry and appreciate good photographs so I really enjoyed my visit.
  • PaulHassing Jan 18, 2011 @ 6:51 pm | delete
    I'm so pleased to hear that; it means a lot to me. Thank you for saying so! :)

    Inspirational, I think we'd get on!
  • PaulHassing Jan 15, 2011 @ 2:37 am | delete
    I agree! Thank you! :)

    Cool stuff. Made me think of Ed Ruscha to start, but you did your own thing here. Nice, artsy take on it. I've lensrolled to three of my own art-oriented lenses. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
  • PaulHassing Jan 12, 2011 @ 5:39 pm | delete
    Thanks very much, Dave, for your response. I'd not heard of Ed Ruscha, but I just looked him up and his work seems fascinating. Thanks for the heads up (and your kind lensrolling). Best regards, P. :)

    I like it, I think you have a great eye for all that is just natural, what is out there in our world and people so often miss it!
  • PaulHassing Dec 24, 2010 @ 11:34 pm | delete
    That's just about the nicest thing you can say to a photographer. Thank you your wonderful vote of confidence. It was just what I needed today. :)
  • darciefrench Dec 18, 2010 @ 9:57 pm | delete
    I find I'm compelled to comment on individual photos- maybe some more guestbooks? I love the way you see the essence of things and it would be cool to ask questions about each photo. -:)
  • PaulHassing Dec 18, 2010 @ 10:11 pm | delete
    I'm elated that you feel that way, Darcie. I like your idea and will give it some serious thought. Thank you for your kind words. :)

    The poor Ladies; they need a landscaper. :)
  • PaulHassing Dec 5, 2010 @ 1:42 pm | delete
    Yes, they rather lucked out there! Still, I believe landscaping is actualy on the way! I just got a letter from the council about it. :)
  • adamnrave Nov 15, 2010 @ 7:27 pm | delete
    Special indeed! Great pic. Didn't our dear friend Jason have a car like that once? Those were the days. Of course, the people in those days were always saying of other days that THOSE were the days. So it's hard to be sure. To be sure. Carry on.
  • PaulHassing Nov 15, 2010 @ 10:25 pm | delete
    I think you may be right, Ad. Thanks! Though, I suppose it's all in a day's work for you. :)
  • LindaCarmical Nov 7, 2010 @ 2:28 pm | delete
    What a great idea! You've inspired me to do the same thing in my area. I'll be sure and let you know when I have something to show for my neck of the woods! :)
  • PaulHassing Nov 7, 2010 @ 2:40 pm | delete
    Thank you, Linda. How lovely to hear from you! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Best regards indeed. :)
  • adamnrave Nov 3, 2010 @ 6:48 pm | delete
    Fantastic additions. Though not a lot 'in it' for the Ladies I see. Keep them coming!
  • PaulHassing Nov 3, 2010 @ 6:50 pm | delete
    You should have been here yesterday, Ad. We had a block party! :)
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Nov 3, 2010 @ 7:15 am | delete
    Another amazing winner!
  • PaulHassing Nov 3, 2010 @ 3:24 pm | delete
    You are too kind, Margo. Thank you for making my morning! :)
  • adamnrave Oct 20, 2010 @ 6:14 pm | delete
    This is another fabulous idea. You could call it 'Pictionary'. Or is that taken? Whatever, carry on. I look forward to more!
  • PaulHassing Oct 20, 2010 @ 6:17 pm | delete
    Onya, Ad! I was really hoping you'd dig this one. I'm sure a name will surface in due course. I shall proceed apace. Best regards, P. :)
  • d-artist Oct 16, 2010 @ 5:17 pm | delete
    Hello from a Squidoo Greeter! this is a great idea, hope you keep on adding
  • PaulHassing Oct 16, 2010 @ 5:21 pm | delete
    Thank you very much! I certainly will! :)
