My Art ~ What is art?

I will start with this art edit I did, with Stephen Nachmanovitch’s Quote:

Creativity. Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one’s chosen form.

I have always loved this quote.

#1 Creativity…

Blue flowers.

  Funny you should say that. Actually yes Albert. There was a problem with the photograph. The photo would of been a throw away or deleted. I was shooting into the sun, it silhouetted him but not enough for a silhouette, and it was blurry, so yes I turned it into art. Still not really happy with it, so I am glad you liked it.

    Your photos are good works of art and fun to enjoy, so there’s no problem at all. On the other hand, I think there is no critic here, so even as bad as my work, there will be no negative feedback that I may receive. Hehehehe…
