Autumn
is the transition from the bright and productive summer to the bleak
but restorative winter. I hope that autumns journey will bring you the
gift of joyful insight, deep clear feeling, perceptive awareness,
conceptual and creative perspective, and artistic all encompassing
inspiration. Enjoy natures masterful art.
I participate in Flickr.com an incredibly huge (6,000+ uploads per minute) photo sharing/storage community. The site has an interesting feature called Explore, which uses "interestingness" to pick 500 photos per day that are the have the most "interestingness" on that day. For more explanation see Here
These are not necessarily the best on Flickr technically but with all the photos being uploaded being one of the chosen 500 is an accomplishment.
Why does this give me a boost, well isn't that why we do our art? (at least a little). Is my first and foremost reason for doing my creative expression is not recognition, it is to evoke and move people whether I ever know if I have or not, but hey it feels good to get a "way to go, good job". We all need a little boost like that on occasion or we begin to doubt that we are moving anyone. So today go out express yourself through your chosen medium and don't forget to give an occasional "way to go, good job" to a fellow sojourner on this path of expression.
