imagination

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

~Diego Rivera

I was an imaginative child. On the one hand, I was incredibly creative and my mother encouraged me by signing me up for anything that leaned in the direction of art: piano lessons, dance, drawing, etc. On the other hand, I was incredibly paranoid that everyone was looking at me (the defeat of an introverted adolescent). However, in my imagination, I was always been able to create a perfect (and safe) world.

Of course, we don't live in a perfect world. But as photographers and artists, we are able to release our imagination into a place where rolls of thread become a work of art and office pins turn into ballerinas performing a ballet pirouette. ArtsyBelle's photograph definitely captured my imagination this week. These everyday office pins absolutely look like ballerinas in tutus. I'm inspired!

Until next time,
