  • Pic and a Word ChallengeThe Pic and a Word Challenge comes from Patrick Jennings’ site www.pixtowords.com Each week he provides a photograph of his along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. We are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If we create both images and words, all the better.

  • Keep it to yourself, it’s my life.

    The title is a Billy Joel lyric and comes off harsher than I intend, but only a LITTLE. This re-entry into video land is a quick but vague update on the last 8 months (you’ll need to read if you want more deets!), and the realization that I/we are responsible for our lives and our…
