Taking a step further

Combining various aspects that I have come across lately. 

Experiments, moments of surprise and coincinde.

The basis of what these are.

Colour, dye and paint

I said that the wows were the best kind of satisfaction.

And indeed, once again, they proved so tonight.

Those reactions make you smile and push you further in doing what you are doing.

Being surrounded by a creative community makes you realise it is right, and there is not much need to take those unincouriging comments into account!

Oh, yeah!

Let me introduce you to Zenit

My last post refered to the work I have done lately. 

It was still warm when I uploaded it.

Here, is the inspiration for it. 

My analogue photography of a trip to a beautiful Scandinavian city. 

It took place some time ago, but it still resembles in me. 

Zenit shots bring back the memories.

And reflects in my nowadays doing.

Grafika!

Joining a workshop is always a good idea.

Even better when at first you feel like you won't be able to do it,...

 but in the end all the stars rearange themselves and your faith gives you a go. 

And the you get the chance to try something new, 

unusual, 

something you used to do when you were little 

or something you found so simple but never figured out to do yourself.

And that was the appeal of this workshop. 

After the first day, I felt misurable, 

I was expecting something more than what was done.

I have to admit, it wasn't the people who organised it, but me.

I guess that was the way it had to be, since the next day we rocked it all. 

I got the chance to do linocut once again, go back to the past and carry out an action which linked to my memories. 

And it was so worth it! 

It did not feel the same as when I was little, but it had a distinct positive feel to it.

The linocut is inspired by one of my analogue photos I have taken on my travels...

but it somewhat links to me.

It is the bike, the road, the obstacle, the heading forward an aim that is there. 

And cycling home after the workshop just framed it all.

I shall see what will come out from my next messing about!

It pushed me forward and inspired me to act!

The boat which is about to float far away...

It is still here, but it is not far from leaving. Actually, you can't tell when it will leave you on its own. And therefore you better use the chances you have. The plug might unplug in a minute, and you never know what will follow on from there. The dark is too strong for the white the win over it.
