"one cool image" said my teacher to the class.
we were all to submit only one photo that represents a 'cool' image. obviously, with the heat wave that hit us... well no let me rephrase it, with the heat wave that shitbricked us into misery, i didnt want to take a picture that portrayed swimming, chilled drinks or people cooling down. i decided to look up the dictionary for the word, "cool" and much to my amusement. cool also means blue and green for they are the colors of cool. it can also mean keeping your cool in situations.
maintaining coolness... hmmmmmm
visions swam around in my mind. at first there was this idea of a sexy looking woman sitting on one long end of a conference table. her lips are perfectly glossed and hair is up in a tight bun, her suit is grey with ivory blouse underneath and she has this sensual looking frames that sits right on top of her nose. all around her are screaming men, in their top notch suits and paper's flying about. disagreements are happening and her? shes sitting there staring at the camera with a soft calm smile, untouched.
that would have rocked but where am i going to find all of these stuff in such a short time frame? where would i find an office which would own a beautiful gleaming table? men? where would i find willing models?
suddenly, i thought about my experiences as a mother. especially a pregnant one. how at some times i'd find myself all alone and doing laundry in a laundromat with my restless two year old. egads, it was impossibly hard and i did remember thinking how lucky i was that i only had ONE child besides the one that's growing near my heart. ahh ha, imagine a mother with no choice as she tows her children into a laundromat. she is so pregnant and has young children, they are all down to their last set of clean clothes so doing laundry is mandatory or the school would report your child to CPS. (yes yes im exaggerating) yup. gotta do it. yup, the kids will test your patience but yup, yup and yup, you keep your coolness in the chaos.
here's clare with mally, jahren and eitan.
