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...

within everyday things
lies another world
natural art
abstract in thought
it is about what can be made of it
after noticing

set off from the rest
framed by a fence
building 13
who's only hint is a wash station
worn path of the intense sun
double locked door
superstition and imagination

sometimes
just let go
allow the project to just evolve
happen
in the end
each moment will be unique
to itself
then capture that moment
iPhone 6s; HDR Image post in macOS Photos and Affinity Photo 1.6.6--Drops of Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Food Coloring in a clear flat water-filled vase with white photo paper background, backlit with Amaran AL-H198 LED at full intensity.
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.

a single moment

peace
from burning hot
to an abstract vision
reflective of what we see
what we know
whatever we want to see
