I like this photo because it’s a bit all over the place – the wild styles of Chihuly, the desert, the manmade structures. As if it were evolving.

Most of my Creativity is in the realm of the written word though I can do some mean brainstorming on conceptual and design. I love making connections where it seems none exist. I am getting into digital photography and appreciating Beauty in any form, wherever she is to be found!
Always liked poems, especially enjoy taking “hard” concepts and softening them up a bit. Easy-to-grasp book (How to Lie With Statistics) that lightened up Stats class inspired this:
Ode to a Statistic
Oh mighty “Stat,”
You’re “where it’s at.”
You could mean this,
You could mean that.
What do you mean, “mean?”
Standard deviation unseen.
You have a sample,
But is it ample?
You have a conclusion,
But is it illusion?
Every statistic,
Like every poem,
Open to interpretation.
And, why not:
WRINKLES
Oh, the Worry!
Oh, the mess!
Shall I go in pants?
should i wear this dress?
What to wear?
Is this too tight?
Do I look my best?
Is this “Just right?”
OH, When is death?
When does this stress…
end?
loved ones then can say:
she’d want to be buried
in this,
no, this!
the eternal struggle
of fashion
What do you see?
