Creative Lens

“Sometimes ideas are coming so fast that I have to stop doing one song to get another. But I don't forget the first one. If it works, it will always be there. It's like the truth: it will find you and lift you up. And if it ain't right, it will dissolve like sand on the beach.”

- Prince

 

Was just looking through some sand photographs from Myall Lakes for a side project and found this lovely one.   

It jumped out at me as if I had never seen it before, let alone coming through one of my lenses. 

Magic. 

Good work does that.  It just jumps out at you.  It doesn’t need much work.  It’s ready. Beautiful and ready. 

I can’t wait to return, it won’t be long as in May I return for Creative Lens, a week exploring creativity, artists and the camera.  One of my favourite places.  Still some spots left on that workshop if you would like to join me there.  http://www.lensschool.com/workshops-tours/creative-lens-photography-workshop
