THE DESIRE TO CREATE is the most powerful driving force in the photographer's quest for artistic satisfaction. No gadget or technique can substitute for it. I've written a short story (originally published in Nature Vision Magazine) about "Creative Nightscapes" that I hope you'll enjoy:

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the creative process...

A specific, creative struggle is going on at the moment.
It's true. I admit. It is a panging question.
What's next?
How does artistic progression occur without redundancy?
Does this happen to you?
Creating images is so very important to me. It feeds both my wants and needs of expression and communication. I believe that when you are shy or introverted, in particular, photography offers a voice; a presence with proof that all, sometimes socially awkward, inconveniently timid, and the often meek can be not only heard but expressive. Photography gifts this not only to myself but to many others.
Without the use of words, an image can resonate with another human like nothing spoken. Images gift the viewer an opportunity to interpret a soulful message specific to their needs. A communicative conduit through which the viewer receives precisely the emotion that at he/she needs or wants. Be it sadness, peacefulness, happiness, positivity, negativity, love, etc ... Isn't that amazing?
Think about it.
I do.
It's huge.
As 2019 begins, I wish to transform my photography fetish and move forward into sharing a more stimulating and creative forum. I am not a goal-oriented human, but perhaps it is time to structure a few things. I am struggling to make headway in the creative direction that my heart wishes to travel. It is frustrating.
I want to try something new; such as, write a novel and or a book of poetry, teach a class, offer online workshops, hold a photography retreat, open a studio, and more.
I even start a 365 on January 1st, eyes rolling, knowing I have much more important, challenging photography things to accomplish. I have done a 365 previously, four years ago. Why revisit it? Do I find ways to procrastinate creating obstacles to reaching my true wants? Hmmm.
What is the "thing" you are struggling to uncover or explore? As we move into another year of our lives, in which we so very much want to be productive not only for ourselves but for others, what is yours?
For me, the first step is going to be clearing away the fog, the obstacles that are requiring my time which is inhibiting my ability to do the things of creative choice. Prioritize I suppose, would be most specific. Seems like a great place in which to begin.

Panging by Angie Lambert
There is a want
and a need
to be inspirational.
Stealthy,
a blur reveals.
Teasing with clarity
and snippets of precision,
it feeds.
What is next?
I do hear you.
Mind and body hungry,
needing less of the blur
rather than more,
the pang continues.

It seems some artist got creative and decided to use this public good as his canvas. I guess he should have made the red light a heart and the yellow light a “peace” symbol or perhaps a golden dollar.
I saw it in Bogotá in the intersection of calle 127 and carrera 13. Lets see for how long it stays like that.
Also note the “A” logo (actually there's two, you can see just a part of one at the left). I don't know what it means but it started appearing in lots of different lights all over Bogotá. Of course, it's kinda difficult not to view it as a couple having sex. Does anyone know where it comes from?
I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.
On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.
Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.

Unfortunately no big storm drains or other underground coolness in our country, so we where very happy to find this piece-o-pipe just waiting there for us to use it. The full moon despite some clouds did a nice job lighting up the scene.

Earlier this year, I was featured by the Adobe Creative Cloud as one of their Creative Voices. As usual, I had Neil from Fly Home Freedom to come and cover my own BTS of the events.

This evolved 1930s warehouse was inspired by the many amazing repurposed warehouses turned arts precincts found throughout Melbourne, Australia.
Over my years of venturing into shows, workshops and just visiting mates, I have been invaluably inspired in many forms of creativity..
This is me saying thanks.
With this next post I’d like to dedicate this to 193thstreet || PHOTOGRAPHIES. Alex thank you for writing my very first Testimony here on Flickr! Thank you for writing such kind words, I’m grateful! Please if you have time check out his gallery :-)
About the photo:
This was taken on one of my city walks a few weeks ago here in Center City, Philadelphia. This shot is my first attempt at DRI (Dynamic Range Increase). DRI is more of a blending technique which allows you to take more control of the exposure in your photos. In addition to this it gives your photo a more real appearance than a traditional HDR. I original intended it to be an HDR, but photomatix created a monster, a much more noisy photo with unbalanced light. It definitely was much more fun manually blending the exposures together, but it did take some time to get the hang of it. This Vertorama is a combination of 6 exposures and was stitched together in photoshop. Both top and bottom exposures were taken at (EV +2..0..-2 EV), 0 EV taken at ISO 800.
