Hi guys, my name is Jenny and I will post photo challenges here at ichimusai.org every friday from now on and at least until July 31th, 2011.
If you’d like to participate, please use the comments feature to link to your challenge image.
Here’s your first Ichimusai Photo Friday challenge!
Quietly sit down for fifteen minutes, and think about where you are
right now in life, and the feelings you have about this. Describe
this in your photograph.
Good luck!

Mitt bidrag
Vackert! Abstrakt men själfull och jag har verkligen ingen aning om vad du har fotat egentligen för att åstadkomma den
Ja, jag vet att du har tills på fredag på dig, men jag är jättenyfiken på vad det blir för dig
Jag tror att jag nog kan hinna med att få en bild i morgon som kan vara något… vi får se hur det går med tid och sådär. Egentligen spelar det ingen roll hur mycket klockan är där jag har tänkt att fota så det ordnar sig säkert.
Jag tog mig även friheten att länka in bilden direkt i din kommentar, jag tycker det kan man gott göra. Vidd max 640 px så blir det perfa.
Toying with the camera in the boardroom by Eva the Weaver, on Flickr
I think this random self portrait sums it up pretty well. Hoping the pasted code will work OK
Thanks Eva! I think you look very thoughtful there!
Welcome to this little site!
Eva, welcome and thanks for taking on this challenge! Ichimusai posted in the comments to your picture on flickr, and I agree with him. The coincidence adds a great “something” to your portrait, humour, warmth, and a reminder that people share the same emotions, no matter when they lived.
Yesterday my desktop computer died, likely the graphics card gave up but I will use my laptop to edit my picture and post it. I did not have time to take it but today I will leave work a little earlier and go on location to shoot the picture I have in my mind…
Here is my shot:
Perhaps I should explain a bit. I am changing horses now and starting to work for SL. Not as a driver or anything, in the radio department in their IT section. Radio is something I have worked with for many years now in several different aspects.
So the train will symbolize moving forward, the blurry people is everything that happens around me right now (there is a lot, sometimes it feels a bit hectic) the starry lights is the bright ahead looking eyes of the train as I look ahead to new challenges and interesting people.
Nice! I think it depicts your present very well, even though I know there’s more to your life situation than your job
Thanks Jenny! It is of course true but to cram all that in one picture would be an insurmountable task I think. Better to depict one aspect or angle at a time.
It’s not an easy challenge this, I mean there are probably as many approaches to it as there are people but I really like your abstract version, its great. And Eva’s thoughtful pose with the painting is also quite brilliant.
Looking forward to the next challenge now
Hard for me to say anything about how Jenny’s beautiful abstract relates to her life, except to say that the arc suggests both tranquillity and motion.
Ichimusai’s train picture contains a lot of contrasting emotions, I think – in the contrasts between softness and sharpness, people and technology, darkness and light from a variety of light sources that are different in character. All of which is “carried” by the naturalistic representation of an environment related to your job change – comes across to me as an apt solution to the challenge.
Wow, that’s actually exactly what I wanted to convey, because that’s where I am at right now. My life is moving forward with amazing speed, as is my development as a human being, the days run between my fingers like sand, but at the same time I’ve sort of found how to fit into this puzzle.
And I am in orbit, as the sun in my life is a beautiful little baby boy (more of a toddler now though)
Jenny noted a long time ago that there seemed to be a theme in many of my pictures where I worked with a lot of contrasts.
I like contrasts and my life is full of them and it is the “no light without darkness” concept. So I think you are right when you notice the same thing here
Ser med spänning fram emot nästa.
