A picture from beautiful San Diego. I guess there is not much to add here. I'll be in Paris next week...maybe that's something interesting to say.
Free show tonight
Last night I dug through all kinds of older photos and picked out this picture here for my next blog post. I found this in a folder named 'February 2010'. This morning while doing some final touch-ups on it, I switched to Facebook to answer a message. On Facebook I always come across all kinds of things very randomly. This time I read the following Edward Hopper quote a friend just posted:“Great art is the outward expression of an inner life of the artist.."Without thinking about the quote any further I closed Facebook to finish my picture. Then I looked at my picture again and got confused. If you are a photographer, do you know why you create a certain kind of picture? Why does it make you feel good to share it with others? Ever thought about it?
Manarola
If you want to experience what it's like to be compulsive, I suggest you make a trip to Cinque Terre, Italy. Bring a camera, but tell yourself not to take any pictures. Then see what happens.
Because this place is so pretty, I was about to post my most un-processed picture ever. My problem with this is that it would be one of a million out there. There are tons and tons of them. They are all super nice, but they are also all the same. So I said 'fluck it' and turned it into a painting. I know know, but I think in some special cases you are allowed to do something like that.
A Perfect Day Ending
Looking for a good place on earth to be in November? I would vote for Thailand. However, I haven't seen that much of the world yet.
