Blogging from A to Z Challenge: D is for…Rineke Dijkstra (#AtoZChallenge)
Welcome to my April 2020 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!
Rineke Dijkstra is a Dutch photographer, and much more contemporary than the other photographers I’ve introduced so far in this challenge. Born in 1959, and living in Amsterdam, she is another portrait photographer – something I am definitely not – “[k]nown for her single portraits, usually working in series, she often focuses on particular groups and communities of people, such as mothers, adolescent and teenage boys and girls, soldiers, etc., with an emphasis on capturing the vulnerable side of her subjects.” (http://www.artnet.com/artists/rineke-dijkstra/)
You can view a whole raft of Dijkstra’s photographs using Google search . Personally, I find them stark (maybe it’s the full-body nature of many of them) and sometimes a bit disturbing, but her use of colour and light is striking, and I encourage you to find out more at the links below.

And now for this week’s Share Your World
Pancakes, waffles or French Toast as your breakfast favorite?
No.
Do you think a person’s name influences the person they become?
Makes me wonder about people who name their babies “Waldo”. (https://www.boredpanda.com/where-is-waldo-coronavirus-edition-book)
Would things get better or worse if humans focused on what was going well rather than what’s going wrong?
Yes.
Is math something that humans created or something we discovered? Is looking at reality mathematically an accurate representation of how things work?
This question did to my brain what math does to it…
Three Line Tales – 218
This challenge comes from Sonya at Only100Words , and here are the rules:
“Write three lines to go with the weekly photo prompt (the photos I use are either royalty-free or I’ve been given permission by the photographer to use them; please credit where appropriate) – sideways interpretation is encouraged. The photo is the launch point – take us wherever you fancy.”
K?
Yeah Em?
Nice try, but I do NOT look that good while I am working from home these days! (true story…)

Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Tonight
“Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt. Today’s word is “Tonight.””
Tonight will probably look much like last night, and the night before…
