I should’ve said that I was also influenced by “somatic,” inasmuch as the sorts of photos I’ve been featuring and would like to continue to feature there take a sort of tactile, texture-rich approach to imagery. Quoth the Wikipedia:

In the philosophy of education, certain ideas that have to do with the body and the mind have been called somatics. According to the originator of this usage of the term, “somatic awareness allows a person to glean wisdom from within”. The usage of somatic as put forth by Thomas Hanna implies a truly integrated mind/body/spirit nature of humans. Thus far, the popular usage of this term has not fully realized this meaning, and a mind-body dualism still often occurs in disciplines describing themselves as somatic.

But it could work either way, I suppose. Have fun! Looking forward to viewing…

I’ve learned a new meaning for soma, a word I only knew as a biology term … interesting!
