For the Mad Minute Word - hypnagogic. This is what often happens to me. I'm trying to accomplish something on the computer and suddenly realize that I've been drifting, with one finger pressed on a key and I've got a loooooong string of the same character. (Note: I just looked more carefully and see now that I have a typo -- misspelled the word as "hypno," instead of "hypna" Well, I suppose that fits with the half-asleep inattentive theme.)
This isn't great photography (though I do want to say that the blurriness is processing, not simple inability to focus the camera), but it's what I have. What I really wish I could capture visually is an auditory phenomenon that I have occasionally had in that hypnagogic state as I lie in bed almost asleep. Has anyone else had the experience of getting a tiny fragment of voices -- like when the radio hits briefly onto a frequency that's interfering with what you were tuned to? Sometimes long enough to distinctly hear a few words or a phrase, but not a whole conversation. I suppose I'm just crazy... Anyway, I couldn't think of how to show that in a photograph. Or at least how I could figure it out and then do it within a couple of day's deadline. LOL
This is so funny, I know exactly what you mean, I can drift off like this too, and I have that experience with the half wake state...now to the challenge. I love all your photographs they are very individual and yet I see no landscapes, so my challenge is to just take a few landscapes on the different settings and see how it works out. Thank you very much for your challenge, will be starting out the week looking for all those little architectural details.,
@denidouble Oh, good! I was looking for an excuse to go to the Konza Prairie, walk the trails, and take pictures. So this is just the kick in the rear I need.
