Learning To Fly.

I think flying is like seeing in that once you learn how to do it it will serve it's purpose. As I have spent most of my life looking I feel I now have the ability to see what it is I am looking at. I am finding that now that I have learned to see I have a better understanding of what I am looking at. I also find the ability to see helps in my ability to convey to others what it is I would like to show others. I find my images are at their best when I am able to convey a message or meaning to the work I am creating and presenting to those who can see what I am presenting. If the message in my work can not be seen I am sending a blank message, and therefore the message is not serving it's purpose.

Thinking about what you see.

Have you ever seen something that made think about what it is you do? Yesterday while presenting my work to a local Broadcasting Class I noticed that there are certain thing I often do in my images. This image is one of those things I often do when creating my work. Capturing the view through a primary medium that alters my photo in one way or another is one of those things I often do. Although I repeat certain thing in my work they don't all look a like.

When I do talks and present a large body of my work together I often become more aware of different aspects and ideas in my work. Some of the style as well as the techniques I often use in creating my work is almost like the DNA of my work. Although my work is continually growing and expanding in ideas I often re-visit some of the same concepts and ideas from time to time.

Here is the second image from the Wynwood Art walk this past Friday night. I am thinking how can I possible get back there to shoot some more images of the original tenants of of Wynwood, and the surrounding neighborhoods. I have a feeling it will end up waiting for the next Art Walk.

An original store front in the neighborhood of what is quickly becoming the happening Wynwood Art District. I hadn't been there since Art Basel, and it seems to be a fast changing area of Art Gallery's, and Studios. I have known this auto body shop to be a busy place well into the night, and as the art walkers leave the streets this garage seems to continue to work well into the night.

Made In The Shade

So here I am trying to add new images everyday, and for today's image I went digging through a great number of images before I found this image and so here is a 2006 image from a hotel we stayed at on a family vacation that took us up the West Coast of Florida.

Cards for your thoughts.

I am now considering a possible venture into creating a line of cards for the various occasions that come with every passing month. I am thinking it would be something to do as long as I limit the number of cards created from each image. My goal is to create cards that display my artistic creativity without creating a mass produced line of cards like the cards at every super store. I will have to see what it is that will work best before I start producing this line of cards, but I feel my idea would work well if I follow my plan.
