I am excited to announce that I’ve just launched a new monthly feature called Memoir Space. It is published at The Calm Space, an online magazine which, according to founder and editor Karen Wallace, “is an online magazine published weekly with a monthly theme – written by a team of amazing, real-life women who are living their passion with a purpose and a focus…we write in our own unique voices, and tell it like it is.”
Memoir Space will present a monthly multimedia project that will inspire you to create/write/photograph your memoir in fun, easy, and interesting bits. I so hope you’ll be inspired to not only try this month’s project, but join me each month. We will be writing unique exercises to flesh out your memories, shoot a few photography projects (any experience with any camera – cell phone camera, point and shoot, digital SLR is fine) and explore other multimedia ideas in the quest to “collect your memoir”.
Please check out the first installment, The Memories of Your Life, An Introduction to Writing Your Memoirs. And hey, why not say hi while you are visiting.
(As for the above photograph, these blue containers were spread out on the ground in front of a shop in Tubac, Arizona. I loved the deep blue color, and the tumbled arrangement, and so I had to take a few photos.)
Love that blue color, it’s gorgeous!
Memoir Space sounds wonderful! That is something I might like to do but for now my time is limited. I’d love to pick up writing again and what a great way to do so. Love those deep blue containers.
By the way, we’ve moved to our own website and have a new photoblog. Thanks for answering my questions after you opened here.
Thanks Anna. It does sound like a big commitment, doesnt it? Just so you know, a lot of these projects can be done in 15-30 minutes, once a month, no special skills or equipment – except maybe a computer and some sort of camera. The neat part about the project is that, with a little time, it will accumulate over the months.
When the time is right for you, it will happen!
I love the blue pots and cast shadows.
Congratulations on being part of the team at The Calm Space! Now I see just why you made such a lovely self-portrait!
I’m afraid that I nearly forgot to comment here on Seeded Earth because I spent so much time at The Calm Space. I have subscribed to The Calm Space newsletter and will certainly try to follow your work there as well as here, my talented friend!!!
What a great shot to announce your memoir space. All those pots of memory to fill. It’s a deep and wonderful photograph.
Quinn, I think you are the only one who noticed the metaphorical aspect to the photo. Yes, filling all those pots with memories–what a collection one could have!
