Two things I constantly battle... "Dont focus on it", I tell myself again and again, as if saying it aloud would actually shift my mind away from that which I am so poignantly focused. More than likely this will bring about an unintentional, unwanted, awareness to exactly what I am trying to forget. . "Its because of _____", i think to myself as my brilliant convoluted brain comes up with what I feel is the likeliest story, filling in any blanks with fabulous speculations. Sometimes based on feelings and observations, almost always thought of as truth, but still for the most part completely off base or even entirely wrong. . Although, when harnessed properly, could these percieved flaws also be the place where my creativity comes from. My inability to stop my brain from continually focusing on figuring out the problems, in conjunction with the ability to fill in the missing pieces, has to be a potent weapon against the sterile and mundane. __________________________________ A few images from the Inyo Craters this last weekend. Although I was hoping for some gorgeous clouds, just being out there in Mammoth for the day, was just the thing I needed. All of then shot with a #breakthroughphotography polarizer...cutting the glare on the water to reveal that beautiful mineral color. #emformdesign #creativewriting #landscapephotography #niokond500 #sigma50150 #tokina1116 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzedY9xBKIR/?igshid=1xw6lyrcrpgb4
