About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

“Straight down the line”

Bark at the moon
I had never heard of a MoonTubeShot. Props to @NomadWarMachine for making it a Daily Create. It’s a cool effect, and I especially like the low-tech angle. I think a moon needs context though. And what better than the three … Continue reading

“Blackbird fly…”
For today’s Daily Create we had to “Remix the Twitter Bird into an unusual location.” The bird led to The Birds, naturally, and no doubt inspired by gifmaster Michael Branson Smith’s Hitchcock effort. When I googled the Twitter logo and … Continue reading
Same as it ever was
@ds106dc #tdc1646 My response for Today’s #ds106 Daily Create is “And you may tell yourself …” pic.twitter.com/N0Mm4ORn8C — paul bond (@phb256) July 11, 2016 I always liked Magritte. It was nice to see him acknowledged in today’s Daily Create. The … Continue reading
