Yellow
It was here that I decided to take a break from Photography
Not forever, but for a while
My art focused on my other interests of painting and music
A sabbatical is a good thing
It is a step back with the question of
what am I doing--where am I going...
As with all things in life...

Creative flow: this image started with one idea then evolved from at least five other ideas that evolved from each other. I ended in a place that is infinitely better than the original idea. The rewards of the creative process are the journey and the destination.
