For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin… but there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid… at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

A Fascinating Talk on Creativity - John Cleese
This just blew my mind because I knew it ... but didn't 'know' it. I understood all but had no structure to support or examine it. No research, no way of putting it together.

The Importance of Music ...
I had to add this to this journal of mine ... it's quite beautiful really.

I'm one of those creatures who, to learn a new thing, need to repeat it until it becomes familiar.
Actually, that's one of the reasons I have begun offering one-on-one photography coaching, for women. I suspect I'm not alone in being overwhelmed over years, as well-meaning, engineering-minded people have tried teaching me photography via their beautiful minds of order and logic.
My mind doesn't function along the lines of order and logic ... there is some logic there but in a form that is more about 'my logic', as opposed to logic that makes maths and physics obvious. Ask my first husband, the physics guy ... there were some stories about my way of portraying the theory of relativity and other things.
So here I am, bending my mind into the 'obvious' in photoshop, creating these small collages and having the nicest time before going back to my work.
I hope your day is a good one, where ever you are.
A little bit of crazy ...
Just playing ...
I have been itching to know how to do this thing in Photoshop, since forever ...
Tonight, Gert very patiently, took me through the process. I use Photoshop all the time but only for what I need it for. I've never studied ... sigh.
Thanks to the amazing Hei Astrid who inspired me with her beautiful blog.
