Wow – I submitted my twist on Photojojo Tag Team Challenge, which I call Jojo Solo, and they put it up on their ideas page: Photojojo’s Tumbler. You can see it here.
Recognize mine? It’s the one with the photo and the doodle in the middle at the bottom.
Today’s Photojojo is a young lady with a beautiful teal painted face coupled with a photo I took of Ruth Asawa’s beautiful wire sculptures in the DeYoung yesterday. Have you been up in the tower? I had no idea you could go up to an observation platform there. Ruth’s sculptures are in the stairwell, near the elevator. They look so good against the concrete walls. I especially like the shadows they cast.
Here’s another solo jojo – a photo I took of the Crystal Springs Reservoir at Hwy 92 overcrossing, together with an abstract in my bathroom yesterday morning as I was getting all dolled up to go to the DeYoung Museum to see my friend Laurie.
Here’s today’s Photojojo – my partner has resurfaced. My photo of my morning fish oil vitamins (yuk!) is paired with their photo of a wrecking ball.
Here are two more “solo” jojos….hmmm, I should tell Photojojo about this idea….
The first one is a photo I took of or near the Leslie Salt facility in Hayward last fall in the late afternoon light. That site won’t be there much longer. I see the drums from ground water monitoring they are performing. Once they get closure on those results showing they’ve cleaned it all up, they’ll be able to tear down the building and move on with redevelopment. It’s paired with a watercolor doodle I did at an art afternoon at a friend’s house nearby.
Until they demo the salt site, I really enjoy seeing the dilapidated structure with the golden sun streaming down onto it in the late afternoons.
Below is a light standard on the San Mateo Bridge, paired with a doodle from a meeting at my former work. I did a lot of doodling in staff meetings because otherwise I wanted to jab my eyes out with the pencil…
