I’ve been an artist for quite a while, and I have to admit that I get pretty darn excited when I feel artist block coming on. Why you might ask? Well, I’ll tell ya… I know that when I have artist block that something grand is around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My wife purchased me these photography flash cards<\/a> for my last birthday which require you draw two cards and use them throughout the duration of a week or so. Each card contains a word or phrase such as window<\/em> or background<\/em>. It’s your job as a photographer to interpret what the card means to you. Anticipation abound, I had my wife choose two – single color<\/strong> and path<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the coolest elements to the cards as it pertains to photography is that your actual surroundings play a key role as well. In my case, tonight it was rainy outside, so I couldn’t really do anything in the chilly cold rain. I decided to stay inside and explore with my macro lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My amaryllis were staying warm in the nursery, but I just so happened to have Calla Lilies I purchased on sale from the supermarket. I would play with a single color, in this case purple, and use the lilies emerging from the bulb to infer a path of sorts. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
