I photographed it, gave it the title 'Variation on a Treble Clef in Shadow', and posted it on social media. Later that year on one of my daily walks I saw a shoelace that looked like an elephant hawk moth caterpillar, and then a little further down the road an elastic band resembling the mirror image of a six which I called 'Not a Roll of the Die'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI then seemed to notice elastic bands quite often whilst out on walks, and I loved the way my snapshots could turn them into something more than discarded rubber bands. The challenge I set myself was to create the title for each photograph in the time it took to capture the image and edit it to a square photo on my phone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI loved finding the bands in places where they would not be expected, such as The Great Orme and Loggerheads Country Park. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA couple of friends started to notice my elastic band photos and commented on them positively. One friend took a trip to Australia to see her daughters and sent me a photograph of a purple elastic band, which became 'In a Puddle by the Laundry Shed in the Garden'. The connection across the miles was wonderful and the colour in these photos contrasted well with the greyer images I was photographing in Wales. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the same way as finding the detail in the little things by tweeting something I noticed on the way to work each morning during lockdown, these photographs gave me a focus for finding something unique within an ordinary moment in time. There is a marking of time within them that is matched by the poems written for each full moon of 2022. I love the fact that these photographs and poems have now been set down in a book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Finch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Daydream Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916680005","brand":"Daydream Academy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43076781277299,"sku":"9.78192E+12","price":22.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d1a20d06-cf84-40bf-9e95-d59ff50f0ef6.jpg?v=1747926098","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/vortex-over-wave-photography-meets-art-meets-poetry-9781916680005","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
