“I have a dream ...”
— Martin Luther King

Dreaming

December 02, 2014 in fine art photography, Portrait, painted photo

A self portrait assignment.

Spent a while in the garden running between the camera and the hammock. Edited the photos down to the few I liked ( or at least not disliked ...it's funny how critical we are of our own photos...). And then I stopped to think.

A self portrait. An image that says something about me at this point in life. 

Finally in a place where I can allow myself not to run. To understand the value of absorbing the quiet. To actually do nothing, although I am not sure that's what really happens when we stop doing.

To let the imagination run wild. To dream. To experiment. 

And here it is. A self portrait. dreaming.
