ON A BIRTHDAY PATY SOMEONE ASKED ME, WHERE DO YOU GET MOST INSPIRATION FROM FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHY.
I FOUND OUT THIS WAS THE PLACE WERE THERE IS SILENCE . MY IMAGINATION COME TO LIVE WHEN THERE IS TOTAL PEACE AND QUITENESS AROUND ME.
IT FEELS LIKE BEING FREE AND BECAUSE OF THAT FEELING MY CREATIVITIES HAVE NO BOUNDERIES THERE.
THESE PORTRAITS SYMBOLIZE THAT FEELING.
Today was my first chance to get out to Epcot with a sole focus on shooting since my recent camera upgrade. With heat indexes over 100, I think I nearly burst into flames multiple times but I can't remember the last time I've seen crowd levels so low during the summer, especially on a weekend. I shot a whole lot of stuff I'd done before as part of my learning period to get used to the new gear. I'm starting to better understand how to deal with it to get the type of results I was hoping for but still have a long way to go.

The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money. They don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge.

"The world is but a canvas to the imagination."
Henry David Thoreau
This is a straight shot as seen through my lens (eyes) ... from a simple natural phenomenon ... Please feel free to guess : ) ...
i'd visited this place more than 30 times, shoot at same spot same angle,even i got some good sunrise photo, but not what i want, coz i always imagine if the sky gimme some yellow or gold color with some dark cloud, that would be better. Finally it's really happen......
Janice and I see a face in the bumps. When we visit this tree another time, the lighting will be different. I wonder if the bumps will resemble something else.

A troll "dollhouse" that my son and I created from a cardboard box when he was a small child. My granddaughter & friend decked it out one day. Now it sits in storage (under a bed) with no small folks in the house to play with it.

For as long as I can remember, I've been hearing all about the new thing supposedly killing the imaginations of children. When I was a kid, it was video games. Internet took the heat when I was a teenager, and by my twenties, there was a new thing to blame – cell phones. Now, it's whatever most popular app that the kids are into. It's been an ongoing series of "gotcha" moments, with a certain subset of adults intent on proving why the modern childhood experience sucks. They desperately need you to believe that this current crop of kids is lesser than them.
Part of every previous generation sees new technology as a threat, exposing a sense of inferiority and fear for their glory days being rendered obsolete. Doubly worse is how it's left them behind, failing to keep up with the latest advancements making them feel stupid and inadequate. But they shouldn't. After all, they had their own new thing to make them worse in the eyes of their grandparents. In the 1950s, it was television. Before that was radio in the 1930s, and movies in the 1910s. Do you know what was destined to destroy imagination two hundred years ago? Books.
That's right, the thing that would forever ruin children was the fault of the printing press. What were their worries? Oral tradition would be lost, the desire to make and listen to speeches, the skill to carry on a conversation, the practice of debate, and the talent of memorization – all would be ruined by this incessant reading of novels. Why would anyone develop social skills with the constant temptation to read for hours at a time? Now, in the present day, books are seen as some ultimate good by certain older folks – kids who read less than they did deemed inferior by extension.
There was probably a caveman railing against the first punks to paint on his walls, angry that they weren't describing an antelope from memory. Art was an early technology, a new concept in aid of imagination. But whatever we use to spark our minds, each generation takes on the full range of human brilliance and expression. Whether we're slapping paint and charcoal on a rock face, or communicating with friends online, our imagination is equally and fully engaged.
Anyone who claims that kids no longer "use their imagination" has a fundamental misunderstanding of what imagination actually is. You can't hardly escape it. When you watch a movie, you imagine yourself in it, and imagine things about the main character's mindset. Playing a video game encourages similar thoughts. On social media, your imagination is sparked toward creativity; how to absorb what you observe, and influence your own life and activities. Beyond all that, we're always unavoidably dreaming. Imagination is far more than pretending you're a cowboy in the backyard, and it's not limited to a set of preset blanks already filled in for you. But these facts won't stop some adults from gatekeeping imagination.
Don't let someone tell you that playing with sticks and stones makes for a better child – they're bitter now, so it must have failed them. If someone says that kids these days are provably inferior, I'd argue that their reasoning has weakened with age. All the skills that require independent thought and creativity are just as present as ever. I'm a person who grew up totally immersed in all current forms of modern technology, yet I still use my imagination for a living. Is that only because I also pretended my bike was a horse and a stick was a gun now and then? I doubt it. Could be that I am who I am because humans never really change, and never will.

Four posters I created for the Oglebay Institute's 80th Anniversary Celebration called "Imagination Celebration". They wanted four posters that displayed their four main focuses: Music, Nature, Visual Art, and Performing arts. They wanted these posters, when combined, to form one large poster.

Flying
Through magic nights
I taste adventure
Landing on earth
Looking into the eyes of a child
Which is me

.With the summer upon us my 3 year old daughter and I have been doing a lot of exploring lately. Her imagination and interest in the world around her is so amazing to watch. Every trail is like a whole new world to her. She points out each flower and is excited about all the different colors, the shapes of the leaves and the insects. Its a great reminder for me on how important even the smallest forms of life are to our planet. How even the smallest insect to the largest trees depend on each other and how they make up this wonderful world. Because of her I wanted to capture an image that represented just that. Lily loves these little flowers and yesterday she was so excited looking at all the slugs on the trail... so after taking this shot and noticing this tiny slug in the image I couldn't have been happier. Can you spot him?..oh and can you see the fly as well?..it's so important for our youth to explore the world and understand all that they can about it...so get out there and explore.
