The Value of Experimentation


Sometimes when I feel stuck, I grab me a camera, a good ole macro lens, and I go outside and take a bunch of photographs. Without thinking about it too much. And then, when I get back into the studio, I stretch the images to within an inch of their lives in post production. If its film, perhaps I'll boil the roll in salt water or bury it in the earth for a few days, who knows. Usually the experiments fail, sometimes partly, often completely, and I end up with nuttin' much. But that's just the nature of things, y'all. The key is to learn something from the experiment, get an idea of a new direction and head out again as soon as possible. 

Have a productive hump day. That's what my old man used to call Wednesday.
