"Failure is like manure..It stinks..but it helps this grow."

• My Profile

  I'm an older guy. I've been around the block a few times. I've had some successes and a few failures. I like this quote..."Failure is like manure..It stinks..but it helps this grow." Alas, I'm still growing, .
  
  I have my hands in a few artistic pots but presently I am passionate about pHoToGRApHy. I consider myself as a WhimOfTheMomentist..That is, I flit from one style to another depending of my state of mind/spirit. Sue me...I haven't locked down a signature style. Maybe after an... [more»]other few decades. You never know.
  
  I love the whole enchilada of the photographic experience. That is, pre-production gets me all a quiver when I conjure up ideas from the 'quiet mind.' The shoot itself is rife with delicious discoveries and ignites the fire in my belly. Tweaking, rubbing, scraping, layering and/or dabbing, dobbing and generally futzing by using digital sliders, buttons and tweakerators.. *trips me right out. ( *I know, I know...I'm showing my age.)
  
  Here's another way to put it;
  
  Making art awakens me. The whole thing-the fear, the adrenaline, the intensity. Living totally in the moment where every decision has significance and the briefest puff of an idea demands attention.
  
  It’s like musty doors in my unconscious are being creaked open.
  I know the sound of my creative spirit, under way, tugging at my being, or resonating from the depths of me.
  
  I transform and enter a place where the slightest, barely perceptible thought can be of such potential importance.
  To be in a state of alertness. of aliveness. Of using my senses and intellect to be in a heightened state of awareness. In awe, and a total immediacy of being.
  
  I wonder if this is not an echo of how it once was for our species, where sensitivity and acute awareness, coupled with humility in the presence of overwhelming potential was the norm.
  
  Whether or not, when in the throws of creating I feel I have come fully into my own.
  
  I think this is a great site. I feel da love!
  
  Peace,
