Woodstock, New York is one of my favorite places in the whole world. There's a spirit of spontaneity, freedom and acceptance there. These young muscians, playing on the sidewalk Saturday afternoon, are a good example of that feeling. In that same vein, I played randomly with filters to see how I could release their enthusiasm and elan. I ended up with a combination of Radial Blur, Diffuse Glow, and Flourescent Crayon.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
