WARNING: NEW VIRUS DISCOVERED. LOOKING FOR A CURE.

The new virus is called the Coronavography Virus. Don't know how contagious it is but I sure as hell got it. My primary symptom is undeniable ... over the last 2 weeks of stay-at-home (apparently a pre-condition), I have made at least 42 pictures that have made it into my "finished" folder, aka: "keeper" folder. And, the count keeps rising.

Case in point, the pictures in this entry were all made within the last 4 hours. I even had a break-down of sorts and made a picture of toilet paper. And, I am about to go out on a drive about with the expressed purpose of making more pictures.

Might be time for an intervention.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN A USER OF FILTERS FOR EFFECTS. And, even though the picture in this entry may appear to have been created with a filter, it was not. In fact, it was made looking into a wine glass and making the picture through the curved portion the glass (note the rim of the glass in the upper left of the photo). Consequently, I can still cling to the idea that this is a "straight" photograph.

Re: my last entry about pictures needing words-the fewer the better-to contextualize a picture maker's intent, the word for this picture is "koyaanisqatsi". A Hopi word denoting choatic life or life out of balance. Also a word that I would suggest is an apt description of life as we currently know it.

That written, the challenge for me now is to determine if this picture making approach is a valid idea for making pictures during life during wartime. Or, instead, if it is nothing more than a cheap trick.
