Specialisation
“Specialization is for insects.” Arthur Jones
My thanks to Greg Mercer blogging at Big Red Carpet Nursing for the quote.
Give us what you’ve got
“Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor.* It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.” Steven Pressfield
*actor, artist, photographer, designer, craftsperson, writer, architect, singer, dancer, jeweller, florist, chef, poet, potter, musician, storyteller…
Something interesting
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” Elliott Erwitt
Cliché
“The secrets to life are hidden behind the word cliché.” Shay Butler
Study
“Study nature. Exaggerate light; overstate — the less inhibited you are, the better.” Sergei Bongart
Here’s another old project… This goes back to when I was learning about vector graphics in Illustrator. It was inspired by this Tuts+ tutorial. Revisiting the image for today’s post, I thought it looked much too ‘clean’ and so I added a little extra texture in Photoshop.
