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.

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

At the time I was hired, the company wanted to move towards an Uber model; rather than SHIFTS, Couriers would "roam" in a region and wait for individual orders to be assigned to them. Within my first week the puzzl
