I'M HERE TO EMPOWER YOU!

I’m an artist . . . but that’s not saying much, because I believe, and it is something that I have devoted my time heavily to convey, that art expression is an inherent property of human nature. The media may vary, but not the innate disposition.

Those that know me have heard my “talent-as-myth” diatribe all too often, and if you end up tuning in to my posts, you will encounter it soon enough. It is my goal to change the notion, which a great number of people resign to, that one needs to have “talent” to pursue the art they feel or want and am doing this on a daily basis through my program in the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers.

With that as preface, I will probably devote a portion of my posts to inspiring artists, but I also plan to impart other conceptions that I have about life in general, with the goal of elevating, encouraging, enlivening or energizing those who read them.

Let me begin with this:

I wish for you the ability to create for yourself all that your heart desires.

Start!

    It's really a fabulous play here Robin Griggs Wood.  I enjoyed wandering around the photo (seen largest) and admiring the details, both abstract and concrete. I love the subtle half circle shape in the background and how it becomes a full circle through light and reflection.  The gossamer light streaks add playful energy and beauty. The orbs are gorgeous and the water park structure in the back is fantastic: a completely unexpected pairings of elements!
    I want to book a trip to this intergalactic theme park!
