Sundays are for Art [photography]

Here's an image from my B-sides, for me, it's not 'quite there'... I see what I was going for; the dominating industrial structure looks like a conveyor belt, shuffling humans up one side, with nothing returning on the other. We see a few people caged in the lift. There is contrast in the people being conveyed out of the darkness below, up into light. There is contrast of themes: man vs machine, the human in their environment etc... but something is missing... I'm not quite s

How a deck of playing cards can improve your creativity!

We all want to think creatively, but what does that mean exactly? Let's take a step back to make some objective observations. Unique to creativity is the ability to observe the same information, within the same parameters and draw out a unique outcome. This creative trait, when applied to data, strategy and other complex conditions, is of exponential value as it allows you to find what others can’t, solve what others couldn’t and design what others didn’t. This is where origi

Creatively, photography is an exercise in composition + originality; a craft of framing elements to most effectively tell a story... create an impression... or convey a mood. To become competent, you need to engage in play; exploration without attachment to outcome. My particular style is street photography since it's dynamic, candid and forces me to adapt to the conditions, people and environment around me. I prefer monochrome images; I feel a lot can be achieved with less.

Blur- Sydney, Australia [taken by me] circa. 2017 monochrome CREATIVITY is a verb... a 'doing' word... You might understand the recipe, it's another thing to cook the meal and in the end the proof may (literally) be in the pudding. To be a good chef, you need to cook a lot. To employ CREATIVITY reliably and effectively, you need to exercise it - not just in theory - not just on paper - in practice. The first step of training your creativity is engaging your sense of PLAY: exp
