For me, black and white has a nostalgic and timeless feel to it. And looking at vintage black and white images, with all the grain and imperfections really speaks to me in a way I can’t quite articulate. It was this feeling that I wanted for my images and by taking advantage of today’s technology, I could now do this.
In Case You Missed It: I was MIA this past monday [1]. No biggie — you are now receiving a full refund of your daily dose of Wants.Blog with this bonus blog post (including free shipping plus delivery on time for Christmas)! 😀
Of course in my own private world, every day is a holy day — and yet every now and then I pause a little bit more to reflect … and therefore I am appropriately tagging this post with “Golden Rule“. 😉
Likewise, I will be providing an opportunity for us (in other words: you and me) to exchange gifts (more details below the fold — LOL).
The image above was generated by the WordPress editor, based on the input text “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the Headlights”. I refuse to rate it. Instead, I wish to challenge my readers to create another image for what I am attempting to express here (and also in “Technology (and Audience) Capture” [ https://socio.business.blog/2025/12/20/technology-capture ] ).
I promise to be very liberal (and accepting) of images — for each and every (appropriate) image that is created, suggested, etc.
Any takers? Any givers? Any gift exchanges? … ? Please feel free to submit your image / application in the comments section! 😀
I used to have this fuzzy image of my future. What I really dreamed of was me being happy, having my own family, my own house, and cook whatever I want. And that is actually still my only dream, and I know it doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as I am with someone that really loves me and sees through me. I guess my dream is just to not be alone.
I want to change this, make words the subjects of images and put them in a visual context. By doing this, I hope to explore their power and consider the effects they can have on our thinking and our mental health. Perhaps by exploring words in this way, acknowledging their power over us and examining that power, it could even help to take that power away.
My dream destination where I would love to travel once in my life time is in SOUTH KOREA because Its my dream to visit their country since, I am a big fan of korean drama and a K- pop fan.
The images should both show a sense of beauty and diversity that is represented through these means but also gain a sense of exhaustion from the vast amount of styles and the layers of effort and depth that go into all of these ‘looks’
about what I enjoy and the kind of person you can have a long conversation or debate about most things (political etc.) And also that I do enjoy being around people, but am at my happiest when I have control over what I do and who I spend time with.
