Happy Easter<\/font> or whatever meaning you place on this day may be!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Scotorum here:<\/em> This week we have a mystery guest artist. \u00a0Well it’s not exactly art per se. \u00a0But as a connoisseur of antique photography since the 1970s, I have learned that since the olden days of photography, meaning the 1840s, photography was considered an art by its practicioners. \u00a0 In fact many called themselves “photographic artists,” and among the earliest promoters of photography were numerous artists! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Although some artists felt threatened by the new medium because its arrival meant that portrait painting had lost its monopoly on reproducing images of real life, others hailed it as the ultimate art for recording reality and offering infinite opportunities for rendering personal impressions, priorities and even emotions in new ways.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

So that’s the big buildup for this week’s “art.” \u00a0It is actually a cell phone image, so it is early 21st century “art!” <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Now our challenge this week is not just to write a poem to the image. \u00a0But imagine this Easter scenario if you will: you are dead. \u00a0Suddenly you are resurrected. \u00a0This is the first thing you see. \u00a0What is it?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I want to assure you gentle reader and poet, that I am in no way disrespecting Easter. \u00a0Just borrowing the concept so crucial to the meaning of this day to Christians to posit: what if you<\/em> were in Jesus’ shoes and it was Easter 2012? \u00a0You can be you, or him, or whatever. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I hope this stirs your muse, and that if you have time on this busy day to wax creative, that you find it worthwhile. \u00a0 Remember the CPC slogan: be creative, and have fun! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
