'tis a picture of a magazine

actually, it's an ikea catalogue magazine. taken in colour, came out almost black and white. almost, not quite.

for the 52-week challenge's "vision" category, the challenge is 'ordinary'. and what could be more ordinary than a magazine.

i was bagging my recyclables and that annoying ikea catalogue kept dropping on to the floor. at one point it fell on me, the corner of the spine hitting my poor bunion. i was about to hurl it out the balcony when i thought i'd do a "mona", but i started to itch and i abandoned the idea. after supper, i revisited my intention and i thought it's hard to do a mona, i just didn't have the patience. and this is about the extent of my patience so this is all you get, unless you want this morning's colourful sunrise clouds. well it could be for tomorrow, unless the electrical storm happens while up on my feet, which, though, by the look of that big star in the sky (jupiter, maybe, or one of those big planets) it may not happen at all. mind you, they'd been promising that storm for quite a few days now and it's yet to happen, unless it did in timbuktu.

also for the six-word story challenge.
DARN IT!!! I wish I'd thought of that! Great idea and shot! Fav.

It’s lively!

This is lovely. You're right. It is hard to do a Mona. I tried this in past year and worked like a trojan to get something acceptable. Well done.

Well done for the challenge. I love these magazine photos. I have tried one in the past. They are not particularly easy, but fun to photograph. I love it. It was Karma that you did a "Mona."

Loved your story-line and the shot. Best use I've seen for an Ikea catalogue. Good luck for your storm.

I'm so out of the loop, I hoped to see a few photos and comment tonight! This is lovely and fluid...I hope that's what you were going for!

Very mona-esque. She is very hard to do!!! Hope this heat dies down soon for you ( no rain at end of month though!!)

Creative presentation, with lines creating fun curved shapes. Nice work!

That's beautifully organised and provides pleasant curving shapes. You might be lucky and miss Hurricane Gordon marching up from the south!

You've even made an Ikea magazine look less mundane ;) I like it.
