Natural Tapestries
Ansel Adams said, “You don’t just make pictures with a camera. You make pictures with books you’ve read, the music your’ve heard and with the people you have loved.”
As great as any tool that you may purchase or as great as any craft that you will perfect, how you add to yourself as a dancer of artful living, will add to your creativity in the field and on the dance floor of life.
The company you keep includes other photographers who validate you, musicians, painters, writers, gourmet cooks, designers, architects, children and adults who inspire you. Keeping good company means surrounding yourself with all of those artists who by their presence and creative energy, push us to go further and deeper into ourselves and into our work.
This page will be dedicated to some of those artists who have inspired me. The page will be updated as new sources for creativity enter my life.
