Layers


Its been awhile since I last posted an image. Creativity and inspiration has been hard to muster these days. Once I get in a funk I look for anything that might break me out of it. These things just take time for them get sorted out. People these days just want this type of stuff just to happen over night. Creativity inspiration just take time sorry to break the news to you. You just can't have things now! I've done a few road trips of late because of work and I have been trying to take advantage of picture making opps in hopes of being able to break out of it. Nashville is on my radar screen in the not to distant future so stay tuned for hopefully a bunch of new images...This image came from a trip to the Iowa State Fair in which I made a few stops along the way. These types of things appeal to me where you can see layers revealing some history of this location and what once was and is not there anymore....

Hi Marko

Don't beat yourself up on the periods of non creativity. I've found they are a signal that I'm moving up to a new creative plateau

Love this image

Interesting image, Marko. I had a chance to take a similar pic a while back. It was the side of a building that had several adverts on it from different periods dating back to the 1960s. I delayed taking the photo for a week and when I went back someone hadpainted over everything. So well done for capturing this one!

As the previous commenter said, don't worry about the funk. It happens to all of us. I find it's sometimes useful to think of a project you can start. Doesn't matter too much what it is - it could be alleys, railings or something. It just encourages you get out and shoot.
