Inside/Out

Or, Back to School

It would be overly dramatic and really quite inaccurate to say that the photo below captures the way the moms feel about the first day of the new semester. Of course they don't feel that they are trapped behind bars, looking out on a sunny yet inaccessible world. No, no, no, no, NO! To say such things would run counter to the happy spirit of the beginner's mind we were promoting just last week (with a little help from our excellent blog pimp pal, Tenured Radical). So, the photo below doesn't "say" anything at all, except, like, Ooooo, pretty colors! Neat texture! Conveniently positioned muntin bars! No metaphors here, people. Move along. We've got work to do and so do you. Have a nice (first) day.

  1. It is a truly beautiful picture ... of multi-faceted possibilities, no? Different pathways, glimmering happily away into the future. Etc.

  2. Thanks, Kate! We greatly value your opinion in all things photographic, bowing humbly before your vastly superior skill and vision. Plus, we like your cheery reading of the image, too!

  3. It makes me feel a bit "through a glass darkly," which I seem to feel a lot too often these days.

  5. Full disclosure, CPP: We knew there was a term for it, but we had to look it up on the Interwebz, which, according to my typist, are way smarter than a human brain. I'll leave it to you science guys to settle that one.
