I had to run the brakelevers on opposite sides to get the pinch bolts outboard, out of the way of my inboard shifters
After the post in the blog about organizing art supplies, I spent Saturday morning (today) organizing my creativity cupboard. I put most of the art supplies in boxes, so that I can remove them and take them to the kitchen table or my bedroom floor when I want to get creative. I thought I would share the photo because I love seeing how others organize all their stuff and find it really inspiring!
Of the few things that really piss me off, one of them is wind... Actually, that is a blatant lie. Many things piss me off! But wind really inhibits several activities that I enjoy. Waterskiing and Photography — These two especially!
There is nothing better than a flat lake in summer, even the slightest breeze or boat chop can ruin the experience... And when seeking inspiring photos, especially HDR, a slight breeze can really 'break' a scene. Specifically in reference to stuff moving in the background. Yes, it can be cleaned up during post, but I'm guilty of being lazy from time to time ;-)
I'm one of those people who enjoys the extremes. I like the weather to be good or really really bad. Mind you that is somewhat of a contradiction, considering I would class 'bad' weather as a slight breeze and a few drops of rain. A crazy storm with thunder, lightning, all hell breaking loose, etc... Now THAT is good weather! As is a calm day with broken cloud cover.
That dovetails perfectly into todays topic... I hate being bored. Being bored leads to thinking too much, thinking too much leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to stress. Stress isn't good! This photo was born out of a day where the wind was a little too intrusive to warrant shooting a landscape. And while walking back to the house I saw a dandelion and remembered a great photo taken by a good friend of mine... The magnifying glass was just something I figured I would try, and I found the result to be quite pleasing & a bit more engaging than the dandelion by itself! I also feel it creates a sense of depth.
So this one goes out to Nikita, a great photographer based in Christchurch. I can't link to the original shot of her's that inspired this one as it's in a private album on Facebook... A photographer before I was, Nikita has actually inspired me to a certain degree. She has a good eye & an awesome creative passion that really shows in her results.
So, Nikita, if you read this... Cheers for the inspiration & I hope all is going well for you :-)

Using a fast shutter speed and high f-stop and a flash, I can make it look like it is night time. But this was done at 1 in the afternoon.

I made this little drawing up myself and it perfectly describes me- creative! The writing says ' I may not have brains or boobs but i have creativity and i like me'.
We all had to come up with our own definitions of creativity, writing it three times, three different sizes, three different types of media. And then find a home for each, somewhere around our lives.
My first effort was done with paint markers on a piece of paper from a MM journaling pad.
A friend and I experimented with wetting old books, shaping and cutting them, then drying them (http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com/2011/01/books-in-bath.html ).
These are the results...

At the Baltimore Comic-Con this past weekend, the British Embassy in Washington celebrated what is GREAT about the comic book, science-fiction and creative industries throughout the UK.
British Comic book artists Mike Carey, Paul Jenkins, and Roger Langridge participated in a panel themed around the ‘British Invasion’ of American comics. In the 1980s, a number of British writers and artists started producing work for American comics and brought a fresh take that appealed to fans and critics alike. This has been coined the ‘British Invasion’. To celebrate this longstanding theme, the British Embassy exhibited at the Comic-Con, showcasing what is GREAT about the creative industries in Britain – from Doctor Who to Game of Thrones to Watchmen to Harry Potter to Wallace & Gromit, and the many British contributions to the creative arts.
In addition to the panel, a number of British Creatives, including Mark Buckingham, Barry Kitson, Brian Bolland and others were on the floor, signing autographs, drawing and speaking with fans.
The UK has one of the largest creative sectors in the world, and British artists have also excelled in the areas of music, computer games, fine art, fashion, and film.
