Get Pushed Challenge #613
My partner challenged me to use the word ‘Palimpsest’ as the subject for a photo.
- a manuscript or piece of writing material on which later writing has been superimposed on effaced earlier writing.
- something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.
I thought about this all week. I rode around town trying to find "edited" signs. I was going to try a composite of some sort to give the illusion of a palimpsest. Nope, nope, nope! Finally in desperation I thought of this.
@annied Sorry for this rather wretched image to depict the word palimpsest. Just couldn't come up with anything else. Thank you for your challenge and I will post a better example if I can ever come across one.
a very creative response to the challenge - I didn't realise it would be so difficult as I see examples of it quite often in graffiti and around the city streets. Well done!
I didn't get to your challenge this week but hopefully will be able to give it a go in the future.
@annied not much graffiti around here. I was hoping for some old signs that had been painted on a building wall and a new sign on top or around, but none to be found. I’m glad you liked it. It was as always a treat to be challenged. @mcsiegle I guess you could showcase it (the books) in a different way if you ever get that challenge. Good luck to you if you do.

Thank you everyone. I do hope that none of you ever gets this word as a challenge. In case you do, start now looking for examples so you have photos in your cache.

If I get that challenge, I’ll have to look for something different. 🤣
