A childhood “blanket fort” at “Picking Up the Pieces”, Lamoni Iowa. February 8, 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What kid doesn’t like making and hanging out in a blanket fort? I was at “Picking Up the Pieces, an art exhibit at Graceland University by Julia Franklin (story here<\/a>). I crawled inside the blanket fort to take pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

To take this all in I made two images with a 15mm semi-fisheye lens, one for the sleeping bag, blankets, TV, and chairs, and a second for the upper walls and part of the ceiling. Then I stitched them together in Photoshop to make one image. This is my favorite image for February 7.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Ceiling
Ceiling Video, “Picking Up the Pieces”, Lamoni Iowa. February 8, 2019. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While I was at it, the video camera on the TV began projecting a video on the ceiling, so I lay down on my back, head on a pillow and watched the scenes go by. A child’s eye view of a swing, a merry go round, leaves falling, a father putting on his tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I waited for the movie to repeat and took out my iPhone to catch some still shots. This is my second favorite image for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are anywhere near southern Iowa this month, go see this fascinating art exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
