Comments on: Lucky Numbers http://www.vianegativa.us/2009/03/lucky-numbers/ How can we live without the unknown before us? —Rene Char Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:48:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dave http://www.vianegativa.us/2009/03/lucky-numbers/#comment-10145 Dave Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:08:21 +0000 http://www.vianegativa.us/?p=3984#comment-10145 Thanks for the feedback. If I'd written this post at a different time of day or in a different mood, I might've been a lot more expansive, too -- who knows? But lately my inclination has been to try and avoid squeezing every possible meaning out of something. I want the reader to work a little bit, too, filling in those "spaces between things" as you so aptly put it. Thanks for the feedback.

If it were me, I'd have run all over the place with (what I see as) the metaphor here, but I like your economy and the spaces between things that it sets up for me. if that makes any sense.

Sorry I've disabled that plugin I had before that allowed people to edit their own comments. I'm not sure how well it'll work with the javascripty comments functionality of the latest version of Wordpress -- not well, I suspect. Hi Natalie!

Especially for some with really poor hand-eye coordination. But thanks for the reminder. “After a while” is the operative phrase here, I think.

Books with full-color reproductions end up pretty expensive, and aren't too easy to do via print-on-demand (Lulu and the like). I do have a title picked out, but it's not a front-burner project, I'm afraid. Thanks. Gosh, I dunno.

Have you tried using the brushes and/or pencil tools in Photoshop? If not, have a go: use the mouse and just paint/draw on the photo with your own handwriting. Much easier than the mouse is a graphic tablet but if you don't have one, you can get used to the mouse after a while. Great words, pics and graffitti, Dave
