Din thoughts

i felt like throwing something on my blog today for the fun of it.

i've been considering the different aspects of Din this morning. Some ideas brought up in class ascribed emotional value to this concept but there is more causing noise in this world than that. There are movements, fashion, living conditions to consider

"Din Apparel"
featuring works about plastic chains hanging from hips; mohawks and ponytails; prison stripe polos and torn panty-hose fashions

"The Colloquial Din" or "Din Vibrations"
playing the middle man and connecting all sides of the/an arguement


"Din living" or "The Din Den"
with a focus on family life, living conditions in the current age.


"Forest Din"
Nature

"A quiet Din"
serenity

"Political Din"
and Satan

the purpose of saying this isn't really to ask which one anyone wants to work with but to try relieving a little stress at the idea of trying to find a connecting factor for our pod rather to say that we have a versatile subject to work with here and that whatever we as a group decide is our interest/focus/concept (whatever) we will always have the ambiguity of language to back us.

  1. Ooh...I like "The Colloquial Din" and your description of it. Yeah, I think you've caught what I found immediately appealing about the magazine title. There is so much noise - sounds, sights, material, political, philosophical - however we want to define it as a whole publication and within our smaller sections can work. And we don't necessarily need to define anything too narrowly until we see what themes emerge from the submissions.

  2. I love the Din Den. Feels like a space for readers to really comment. Great way to capture the many moods of din.
    By the way, are the slideshow images yours? Some really lovely sunsets.
