I set out downtown for a different image but looked up and saw this guy. How could I not.....
Happy Anniversary - today starts year 10. I am going to drastically change things up this year. I have decided to work on series for each month. As many of you have probably noticed I've hit a creative wall in the past few months. I have learned so very much from being a part of the fabulous photographic and most supportive community over the past 9 years so now I feel that it is time that I take a different approach to my work. I am hoping to explore a topic of work in depth each month or so. I am going to try visually explore sound this month. I am not sure if I will succeed. Even when someone falls flat on their face, they are moving forward.
@annied Thank you so much. I've really enjoyed your abstract series. I see the need to re-focus my work and hopefully my new direction with help. @ankers70 Thank you a great deal. For the most part I have relied happenstance now I think that I need to explore ideas in more depth. @ludwigsdiana Thank you so much. I've walked down this alley so many times but don't remember looking up. So glad that I did. The most important lesson that I have learned through 365 is that I see and notice so much more. Now I hope to learn to explore ideas and then create a visual depicting the idea. @joansmor At first, I thought that this fly looked a bit comical but have to admit that its size, probably 3 feet by 3 feet and posed to buzz down on me made me do a double take. @robz I love finding street art. He is made of tossed away stuff but stills comes across as a creature that makes one stop and jump a tiny bit if you look up. I am hoping that as I explore ideas and topics I can help myself learn to focus. @marlboromaam Thank you so very kindly. I am looking forward to the chance to let others 'hear' my artistic voice, at least in a visual form. @granagringa I didn't know that Salem has such cool weird street art. I must go up and explore. I must explore downtown Salem more. Any places that I should stay away from?
Happy anniversary! Enjoy your new beginnings again…it’s so much fun, super creative and Ooo the people are wonderfully kind and great photographers. I have learnt sooo much.
It sounds like a difficult but rewarding challenge you've given yourself. Good for you! As for sound, if this guy could fly around, that would be some buzz......!
Good luck with your theme months :)
Congrats on completing nine years and good luck with your future project :-)
