day 8: eight // day 9: frazzled

Image
What happened was: I went to a show (!!!) on the night of day 7, after having worked with "seven", and at first I thought there were seven musicians on stage and was like oh wow! But then (from a different spot) I saw that there were 8 of them. And still I loved the embodiment of the number, the beautiful eight-way relationship I was witnessing. I woke up "hungover" (from, like, dancing/just being out 'til midnight?) and wanting to take it very easy, so for day 8 I posted: EIGHT               And on day 9, a holiday, I'm still taking it easy and thus pulling one from a few days ago: FRAZZLED

day 7: seven

Image
Seven is considered a magical/special number in many cultures and disciplines — and, being born on 7/7, it's obviously a special number for me (and perhaps a signifier of my obsession with numbers?). I thought I'd look for a representation of 7 on the 7th day of this project: SEVEN    (posted on IG on the 7th day but forgot to put it here too, so it'll show like a day late)

day 6: upstream

Image
I woke up from a beautiful dream this morning and thought today I'd try to bring a concept from my dream to the project. During my hike (when I experimented with the photos) I also came up with the "title" for my project (something the challenge creators encourage) — #100DaysofIntentionalStills UPSTREAM (CONTRACORRIENTE)

day 5: feed

Image
I'm starting to realize that picking a daily prompt to translate into an image in the middle of a busy day is a little nerve-wracking! I might sit down this weekend/ every few days and pre-select a bunch of words or concepts that I think are doable, then choose from that pool every morning, or maybe even the night before. This morning I asked Kayen to give me a few words (that aren't objects), and she gave me: feed - heal - quiet - quickly . I'll add those to the pool. FEED

day 4: shine

Image
 Full moon in Leo today so I went with shine – and I turned the camera on my leo moon child. SHINE  

day 3: subconscious

Image
3/100 I pulled the Moon card this morning (... as we enter the full moon period...) when looking for inspiration for today's prompt.  So I decided on a more challenging concept today, and ended up quite pleased with what I came up with: SUBCONSCIOUS.

day 2: pink

Image
2/100 It's Valentine's day and I was starting to overthink it, so I decided to go with the first prompt that came to mind this morning: pink     #100DayProject

#100DayProject: Day 1

Image
 Day 1 : INTENTION. [Reviving this blog to serve as my landing place for my first #100DayProject...] I'm doing the #100DayProject this year!  But, like, why Shortly after hearing that the 100DP was about to start again, I had a stroke of inspiration and thought of a project that perfectly aligns with my creative and personal development intentions at this very moment. (When the energy flows like this, I have to follow the spark and say YES!) Ok so what is it For the better part of the last 2 years, my creative work has been tied up in the conceptual realm. I've been deep in the study of heady topics like capitalism, the global neoliberal economy, mythology (as related to the zodiac), psychological patterns according to personality types, and other truly juicy topics.  I'm stoked about the long-term project(s) I'm doing all this research for... but this dense research part of development feels almost completely mental. Get to the point My intention for the 100 Day Proje...
