Provenance
Sailors have for generations taken pleasure in the art of rope work, both for personal functional uses and as keepsakes of a life at sea. Seamen frequently occupied their idle hours with handiwork that included knitting, crocheting, stitching, needlepoint and knotting of macramé objects. The material most available to the crew was remnants of old rigging and cable. Knotting began as the making of items of necessity at sea, such as lanyards, handles for sea chests, and belts to hold up sailors’ britches. Heavily knotted webbing, sometimes called strapping, used to cover and protect a fisherman’s water jug or glass float. Slingshots with monkey-fist knots were used to help in the throwing of lines ashore. Sailors historically sold or bartered their fancy rope work for a drink or other favors on shore.
Photo Series of the Day: Since 1999, photographer Jeff Harris has been snapping one photo of himself each and every day.
However, unlike the standard self-portrait-a-day projects we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, Harris started his with the explicit intention of not doing another me-on-the-couch compilation, but rather making the most out of every photo.
“I didn’t want 365 images of me sitting on the couch each day,” he told Time magazine’s LightBox. “There could have been that tendency, especially during the cold dark winter months to stay inside all the time, but this project inspired me to get out there and seek out interesting things.”
