      The early bird gets the worm. It's something that my grandfather, Joseph, said quite often. He meant that if you get up and get going and get it done that you'll succeed in life. Don't wait around, get up and get going. Don't wait to be told what to do, get up and do what you need to do. I thought about finding images of sunrises, birds, and such but it just doesn't fit for me. So I chose a photo of my dog. My dog's name is Malachi. We get up and do it everyday. Rain or shine. Sick or in good health. There's no design by committee. There's no pontification. It's get up and get going. Lead or be lead. Results are immediate.The early bird gets the worm says to me that you get right to the heart of he matter. It's not about being first or getting up at the crack of dawn. It means that you're laser beam focused on the task at hand and that task ay hand deserves your attention.

      How is subjectivity constructed in the image, and whose subjectivity is constructed? Subjectivity is constructed through the language used in the text, the photo of the woman, her style of dress, and what she holds in her hands. I would say that both male and female subjectivity is constructed in the image. However, it would be from a traditional, heterosexual perspective that it is constructed. One that portrays femininity, motherliness, youthfulness, and abundance. What prior knowledge is assumed? I think that one's prior knowledge of the language and culture are assumed. Also the style of traditional dress is assumed and that one could be able to decode its meaning. Making visible in visual art (what does that mean in contemporary art)? Making visible in visual art means that we can identify the codes and conventions used to construct and image and text and navigate its meaning. It also means that when one is able to make the invisible visible, that one is able to identify the normalized meaning within a certain text.
