wait a few seconds to pixelize; while waiting… here are the notes: the theme is “Happy”, general enough, but the technical requirement is new: you have to use the new program called “Gallery” in WordPress, see Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy.This new tool, according to WordPress, was announced yesterday but i didn’t read it. i didn’t know where it was, but i found it after 20 minutes of…looking at all the prompts and symbols… there it was! on the topmost margin of the window post, labelled “Gallery”. that’s been there since the inception of WordPress or since WordPress changed format a couple of years ago, WordPress added new features within it that allow the user to use a multi-photo format. I learned something new today. The program does the layout for you. (my “talkies”, annotation, below the Gallery.)… while typing this, i realized that my first photo for the gallery — Myra at the Museum of Modern Art in New York — is… an art gallery. Myra sent this photo today. What are the odds…
Wordpress Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy
Posing beside an original Marc Chagall and… all life and all expression: Everything is “modern art” if it makes you smile… dream… wonder… or turn your head counter-clockwise, close one eye, and ask “What’s that all about”
(all photos by Myra Lambino; photo of Myra at the Museum of Modern Art by her classmate/ co-alumna)
Anything “you’re a bit selfish or possessive about … a feeling you feel when you look at the photo, or perhaps an unwillingness to share?”

(here’s the sample image from WordPress, photo by Sara Rosso, with text as quoted above, it’s a cup of coffee.
As it turns out, i have dozens and dozens of photos like this one — a cup of coffee, a cup of hot chocolate, a jigger of wheatgrass, a coconut water drink, a glass of whipped up carrot juice, etc…Oodles. but i thought i’d choose…the dream collection (something one’d be possessive about): organza, taffeta and silk — in gold and iridescent green. (i chose this on the basis of visual appeal: all-natural light, lush colors, etc… It’s not photojournalism, it’s not street photography, it’s not “stilllife photography”, it’s “splashy colors” photography.)
