The Myriad of Opportunities

Ben Franklin, Franklin Museum by Sarah's iPhone


Opportunities are omnipotent, aren't they? In my many years studying with George DeWolfe, the listening for these opportunities is often a blend of the waiting and the doing. We must equate the feeling of knowing with the action of creating. I always say to see the truths, we must see inside out.
I think Ben Franklin knew this knowing, which is one of my reasons to head north to Philly for a visit.

Today, I am heading to the Norton Museum of Art for my monthly check in meeting with Tim Wride, who is sharing with me another means with which to understand photography (and fine art in general). I am captured by the opportunity to explore and experience photography from another dimension. I like to think of it as seeing beyond the frame into a mysterious mix that I can arrange. A wall is like a still life-arrangement and placement are just as fun. I look forward to writing more about the exhibit that I am working on with Tim.
