A Picture of Me


I found this on Quinceberry's site earlier:

Thauna issued a challenge on her blog...and I accepted. Up above is my life in pictures...this was fun! I'll explain., and then join me if you like.

1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page, pick an image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into FD's Mosaic Maker.


The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favourite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favourite colour?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your Flickr name.


I don't want to say the words I typed in to get these pictures as many of them are names. What I did do was select the picture I liked best on the first page of the search results - even if it had nothing to do with the search term. For instance Heath Ledger gave me a woman with two wolves because the artist had been listening to Heath Ledger and included this in their writing about the piece. Do have a go though! It is really good fun!

Doing this hunt I found these lovely silhouettes. I particularly liked this one and it seemed full of synchronicity that is was inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Este's 'Women who run with the Wolves'. There has been much talk about this book recently in my e-verse. I bought and read it some time ago but the memories of this book are fuzzy n my brain - maybe I should get it out again...

  3. So did I. It was very bizarre to get this picture for a search on Heath Ledger. Things like this are so odd they can't be random. I had also been thinking of doing a silhouette of me and those dogs by some woods to go with your poem...

  4. Ann, go have a go! It is simple but effective and I am not convinced it required much talent!
