Interested in a creative jolt? Join us at Brain Freeze this Thursday March 15th from 6:30-8pm to discuss your new work, creativity, art & photography. I’ll share some things I learned while in Miami’s Wynwood Art Disctrict this weekend as well as some of the photographs from our photo excursion to Rock City on Saturday. I will also go over detail of our upcoming gallery visit and Photoshop Elements workshop.
New Color Photograms By Ellen Carey
This is new work by one of my graduate school mentors, Ellen Carey. Ellen is a pioneer in photography exploring the language, process and apparatus of the camera. These are camera-less images called photograms. Ellen uses the colors used in color printing as her palette in these abstract & experimental works.
You can see some of my experimental photograms inspired by quantum physics, relativity, cosmology, astronomy & particle physics in these galleries:

My abstract color photography in Miami’s Wynwood Art District gallery
I have two abstract color iPhone photos in this show at The Lunch Box Gallery in the Wynwood Art District of Miami. The show explores the social phenomenon of creating and sharing images on Apple’s iPhone and the variety of approaches to photography through this medium. If you’re going to Miami, check it out. It should be an interesting show!

Claude Monet on where to find new directions for expression
“When asked for advice on painting, Claude Monet told people not to fear mistakes. The discipline of art requires constant experimentation, wherein errors are harbingers of original ideas because they introduce new directions for expression. The mistake is outside the intended course of action, and it may present something that we never saw before, something unexpected and contradictory, something that may be put to use.”
Quote included in Shaun McNiff’s classic book on creativity, Trust the Process: An Artist’s Guide to Letting Go.
An invitation to get creative!

Creativity In A Cup
I woke up this morning dreaming of cafe con leche at Versailles in Miami. We spent a fantastic weekend in Miami a few weekends ago and stopped here to fuel up before exploring art in the Winwood Art District.
I took this picture on my android phone using the retro camera app to give it a LoFi look that reminds me of the Polaroid transfers we used to do in the analog film days. I love the ability to grab quick and spontaneous photographs on the go.
Creativity in a cup.
