This project, which I'm calling amplified observation, is something that will get built over time, but the general idea is this: I take a picture, draw, or expand upon an existing photo of mine--create some type of visual documentation of something I encounter or feel--every time I make a post. I then write a short piece based on that picture. It may document exactly what I was thinking or doing that day, or it may just be a creative piece of fiction based on the image. (To distinguish what it is, I will write my intention somewhere in each post--most likely the title. The words I'll use to describe the posts will probably look something like this: "my current situation: at a glance," "what's up today," "goings-on," or "I experienced this," vs. "fictional piece," "poem," "free writing," or something similar.)
I love creative prompts upon which I can expand. This project is something that I hope to do consistently, at least for a little while. (My psychiatrist actually was the one who told me that starting a blog like this would be a good idea, just to add structure to my daily routine.)
I am calling this blog amplified observation because I'm basically taking little observations in my daily life and amplifying them. I'll expand upon the experience or the message of the image I post by writing about it.
