I worked on these collages New Year’s Eve 1999 to welcome the new millennium, a year with three zeros 😉

Imagination inspired by IChing: “Treading”, collage, E. Frazee, May 22, 1999
Imagination inspired by IChing: “Lizard treading on leopard tail”
#10 Conduct: Heaven above, Joyous Lake below
The abbreviated explanation comes from Wilhelm commentary The Spirit of the Art of Living: when threatened, in danger or deprived of power…to come to terms with it…stand still and wait, there may be guidance… claim destiny, simply proceed with faith and victory and progress. “Wow” I said to myself. “That is profound.”
I thoroughly enjoyed WordPress’ Photography 101 (Nov 14). The challenging assignments were provoking because the best responses I had were not new photos. I posted from my albums anyway. The experience reminded me of the challenge in 1999 from a workshop inspired by IChing. The purpose of the workshop was to create a collage. To continue the study (of a subject I knew nothing about) I made more collages.
One thing leads to another…I wondered if I had photographs that could be a reasonable images for IChing readings….YES! Now Friday Photos will feature “IChing Inspired” in addition to “Alphabet/Alliteration” subjects.
Because IChing is an obscure subject, I added a new page to this site that chronicles my study and references for inquiring minds. Check it out! Are you familiar with IChing?
The weekend assignment for Photography 101 is to explore how light varies throughout the day. Again, the sun is not cooperating with those of us who live in the mid-west.
Throw back to a earlier project:
Alphabet photography. All the letters were found @ 1968 Rudgate Drive. Read left to right. Some take more imagination than others. Yes, one was left out to fit the 5 X 5 collage format. The photos were taken from North-South-East and West of the house at different times of the day.
Inspired by names of paint colors, comic strips, images of chocolate, popcorn, a transmission and “golden” nest eggs;
we honored our long time friend
and recanted the habits of highly effective people which she embodies.
KL storyboard 2
More names of paint colors on the second storyboard panel inspired dreams of travel adventures around the world.
…and a happily ever after.
Credit to Liza Hyatt for using paint names for input to creative writing projects. Just maybe this story evolves and becomes poetry, lyrics, short story, article, autobiography or novel.
I actually applied paint chips to the storyboards in these photos as well as calendar images, wrapping paper, Christmas card, decorative paper, puzzle and a Designed Experiment matrix.

During a recent bookcase reorganization I realized I had not read the latest and last book by Gavin Menzies, adventurer and researcher extraordinaire. (Gavin passed away 12-April-2020.) His career in the British Navy as submarine Lieutenant Commander offered opportunities to develop as a seasoned, savvy world explorer. He authored these three books in his retirement […]
coreysdigs.com Corey Lynn, investigative journalist, encourages the public to join her to find the truth. OPEN-SOURCE Information! I found Chapter 4 extraordinary. It very thoroughly explores Blockchain technology. I cannot begin to do justice by commenting on the reveals of who, what, when, where, why, how and how much. Then Chapter 5 masterfully relates a […]
The Card Catalog is also a book! Published by the The Library of Congress this book chronicles the challenges of library science over centuries specifically focusing on early American History. More than delightful memories of classic books, this short and sweet book pairs well with The Library, A Catalogue of Wonders (reviewed 5/15/2019).
In the last four years, I have read Revelations three times and unfortunately did not get much for my effort. Thankfully, this book came to my attention via youtube video interview. Download for $2.99. Great investment. Scripture is expertly paired with commentary chapter by chapter, enthusiastic personal messages and encouragement. To me are the illustrations […]
