Iron-Whitman2
Douglas Grohne
Youth, Day, Old Age and Night
Youth, large, lusty, loving--youth full of grace, force, fascination,
Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace,
force, fascination?
Day full-blown and splendid--day of the immense sun, action,
ambition, laughter,
The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and
restoring darkness.
Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass" 1855 and 1881 editions
I think old Walt would have liked to be an Iron Photographer. He certainly was an Iron Poet.
The Iron Photographer Challenge
Now we find ourselves face to face with the 25th iteration of Iron Photographer. That's right...IP, the Silver Anniversary. So here we go, the elements for IP 25:
1 - something silver
2 - something dead or dying
3 - text
The first element, something silver, really means something that appears to be silver. We're not going to assay the thing to determine if it's actually silver. We will also accept photographs that include the Lone Ranger's horse, but only with certification. The second element is something dead or dying. My guess is that most folks will select a plant, but it's your choice (so long as no laws are broken and there is no cruelty to living things involved; in other words, you MAY NOT stab your annoying housemate with a silver fork and blame it on Iron Photographer).
The final element, text, means words and/or numbers should be included in the final image. Whether you include something written IN the photograph or whether you add something written TO the photograph is up to you. The text doesn't have to have any particular meaning. It just has to be text.
