I like to tell people I’m on a ‘writing vacation’. Truth is – I have been doing some writing, but my muse has been railroading pushing me ever so gently in a completely different direction. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a process that I didn’t really see coming until I turned around last week and it was here.
I look back over the last three years of my life and notice that my frame of reference has slowly been shifting from the macro to the micro.
I have such magnificent views here at the RUC and have taken hundreds of photos – the sweeping landscape, green hills, fires, tractors, birds, insects (notice how things are getting smaller?)
Last week when I was on the dog walk I thought I’d get a close-up shot of one of the millions of weeds on the ground. I knelt down and took a few shots – meanwhile the dogs were waiting patiently (yawning, tapping their paws, howling at me to c’mon!) It wasn’t until I looked at the photo afterwards that I noticed I’d captured something awesome – a spider catching a fly on the tiny leaf.
Okay, you might not think this is awesome (and I wouldn’t blame you) but the chances of me choosing that weed at that moment (out of the millions of weeds I’d been treading on for the last half-hour) when the spider actually caught the fly, is a one in a million or billion or whatever chance (let’s just agree at this point that statistics isn’t my strong suit).
I’m digressing from my main theme, but here’s the photo. Notice how tiny the weed is by the size of the fly. It’s still flapping it’s wings – the poor dear…
So I’ve been taking these micro close-ups…and while I’m here I’ll digress again – can anyone tell me (maybe Pauline) what this flower is? It’s got me beat. It had fallen from a tree, but I’m not sure which tree it was so I can’t give a leaf description. It looks like something out of an alien movie.
Anyway, back on track – over the past few years I’ve felt myself becoming more focused on the visual side of creativity rather than the written word. I start to write and then my mind wanders off to any small thing that comes my way and I feel I have to take a photo. Some of my photos are nice, but there came a point where I wanted to do more with them. I wasn’t sure what, so I started redefining them into (what I think are) works of art.
So here are the first two of my efforts (I’ve done about ten so far) and to satisfy my urges I’ll start putting them in a new section called …
*********************Arty Bits*******************
The first one is a photo I took of a piece of red fungi off a tree. I had to do something artistic with it so I turned it into a weird kind of flower thingy..
I named it Beyond Terracotta
Then I found a photo I had taken of a mango flower. These things are everywhere at the moment and it’s features are something you don’t notice until you get up close and personal and do a micro shot. I found all the flowers have, what looks like, a little face on them – so I placed the cute little dude in a bubble and called it Mango Flower in Bubble (hey that’s original!) 😀
Now I’m by no means calling myself an artist, but there is definitely an urge that I need to get out of my system.
I’ve read about people who have been knocked on the head and suddenly become concert pianists, but I haven’t been knocked on the head (that I remember) so I’m not sure why this change has come over me.
Have you ever had an urge to do something completely different?
Am I turning into an eccentric old cat lady?
I’d like to know your thoughts.
In the meantime – have a great week! xxx
I like taking photos, so I write and get out with the camera. Sometimes I think about finding a way to combine the two hobbies, but so far, nothing plausible has come to mind.

Dianne your photo’s ARE amazing. I love that you have this pull towards something completely different. You are an Artist because you can craft a story with words. Go with the flow, see where it leads you. I’m betting it will take you back to writing when you see it through. I am constantly bombarded by new things that I want to try, but for me they happen in the middle of something else. I use to start the new thing before I finished and so my story is never complete. Now trying to stick to two stories at a time. For you its a must to go down this road. You already know how to write and so you can sit back and learn something new about yourself. Thank you for sharing, I really did think the spider shot was amazing and the red fungi. Here’s to following our passions.

Thank you, Kath. You’re an inspiration to me because your art is so beautiful. I started sketching and painting about a month ago but saw too much fault in everything I did. I just have to settle and find what I enjoy and now I’m kind of enjoying taking the photography to another level.
I could never write one novel at a time and always worked on two or three simultaneously. Like you, I’d be halfway through one and get an idea for another – it’s certainly a great way to overcome writer’s block because switching between stories is like a taking in a big breath of fresh air 😀

Let an eccentric old cat lady – me- tell you your photographic art is amazing. It reminds me of the wisdom conveyed via a piece of paste up art I saw on King St… “I want to see things as they really aren’t” 🙂
Your creativity is responding to your available time and the lovely environment in which you live and have created. As is only right. (I would have hated to see you embark on an MBA but if it’s what you’d truly wanted I’d have been happy for you!)
The urge to create by tapping into all of the nuances of senses is food for our spirits. Sharing our art whether it’s thoughts, words, photos, visual, sculptural, music, ideas, culinary creations… goes on to inspires others.
And, anything that doesn’t derive from or buy into corporate & commodified can only be good. Although we can set personal standards and goals, our efforts don’t have be perfect or saleable; enjoyment of the process is the takeaway.
As for me, I’m getting there. Having a blog and sharing words and photos is the start.

What an interesting post Dianne. My first thought is selfish sadness as I love reading your books, but my deeper response is – fabulous! I don’t think art/creativity likes to be limited or locked up and constrained, and I think different forms of creative expression can cross polinate and grow something even more beautiful. I have been playing with some sketching recently, though there’s nothing yet I’d choose to share…and yet the process of being still, and looking…really looking, is an interesting one. It reawakens my wonder (life is soooo miraculous) and distills my imagination into an expansion of what is, rather than trying to start from something completely new that is full of cliche. Not sure that makes any sense, but I say go for it…obey the muse! Hugs, Harula xxx

Dianne, I do so totally get this!! The same thing happened to me when I moved back to Texas in 2010. My neighbor across Worsham Street there was an amateur photographer, and I fell in love with her images…so much so that I started taking my own. Being back in Texas was such a treat for me in many ways, and as I re-connected to my past, I became passionate about capturing the landscape and people and…anything…so much so that I bought a new camera and my neighbor helped me with Picasa and off I went.
The Old Woman Slow’s Photos was the blog I created to keep The Red Man from being taken over by my pictures. I highly recommend it. You CAN combine both your writing and your art. By the way, I have loved your art as I’ve watched your attachment to the images grow.
Your work with colors today is a sign of your growth – and they are truly beautiful. Honestly, lovely.
So go for it – do what you want to do – wherever and whenever your own Spirit takes you. We will all be glad for both!

Hi Dianne! I’ve been wanting to comment on this post since it was posted! I think it’s great your doing new things with your photos – so fun!! You do take great ones. I too have had the need to ‘do something different’ – I think it’s the only way to live life to the fullest! Try new things!! go Dianne!
