My 'Hard to Live Withouts' by fbailey

My 'Hard to Live Withouts'

My Get Pushed challenge this week was to show a "tantalising glimpse of what I couldn't live without".

I could, if I had to, live without them all, but I wouldn't want to.

The first picture shows the two things I reach for first thing every day, my phone and my 'one size fits all' fleece. No advertising intended but the latter has proved invaluable.

Represents Communication/Information and Warmth.

The second is a shot of my purse/contents. Rarely leave home without it and it has a tracker so I can find it (I'm not a tidy person).

Represents Independence.

The last picture is of my keys. These are always left in the door so that I can find them easily!

Represents Freedom.
@bournesnapper Hello Andreas, here's my response to your challenge. I mulled this over so much! I thought about a self portrait using a displacement map of typography (too difficult!), or shots of dog lead/toys + my partners in grime but have put up so many shots of my dogs already, so I resorted to my initial knee-jerk reaction. Thank you for an extremely thought provoking challenge!

Fabulous, Felicity. And I love your explanation. Many will agree with your choices. May you never be without them!

Interesting selection. I wonder what mine would be…?xx

I love that you have a tracker.

@wakelys So useful! It's linked to my phone so as long as I can find one I can track the other. Used it just now as purse had dropped underneath passenger seat and I thought it was indoors (or lost!)

I am your get pushed partner this week. How about looking at the clouds and capture some interesting shapes. If they are not very inspiring over the next week then maybe added some editing to add to the interest.

Nice kit!

What a great collage. How times change. When I was young I didn't have a mobile phone, a credit card or a car and we all rely on them so much these days.

really cool felicity

@wakelys Thanks Susan, here's hoping for clouds next week!

@onewing Me neither! I used to scoff at mobiles when they first came in the size of a house brick!

Nice response to the challenge. I would be stuck at home without my car, no mass transit here. I usually always take my purse or part of it when I go somewhere. I usually look at my phone early in the day.

I can relate to every picture, and everything you have said!
