This time last year I was..

...using nature to inspire my Muse

[this was originally posted last year at this time while we were in Boston]

I know I've whined about this before, but I am mentioning it just once more...I am without my precious torch and glass. So. in the quest for more dynamic creative outlets I have found I am enjoying photography.

The tools are few and simple. A camera. Photo software. An eye that sees light and dark spaces. An eye willing to see and ruthlessly crop the unnecessary.

A fitting metaphor for life wouldn't you say?

I find I like simple scenes with few distractions. I like to photograph the views that might be missed by busy minds... a literal, tangible 'ohm' ..so to speak~

And in some odd serendipitous way, it seems any creative expression folds back upon itself and feeds all of your muses...

In other words, I see ideas for jewelry in each of these photographs.

Enjoy your muses today everyone.. go make something ~

--All of the above photographs were taken by me in the Boston area--
