“I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.”         Paul Cezanne

I think every one of us feels inadequate, insecure, or lacks confidence. The difference for some of us is we can let that paralyze us, and thus the wonderful potential that lies within every human being remains locked inside.  As far as creativity, I strongly believe that if we don’t tap into it, we don’t live our lives to their fullest – and we deprive others the richness that ripples out of our creative souls.

This picture was taken at a lake in Prescott, Az. It wasn’t at all picturesque, and I was challenged to find something there. This image is kind of different for me as it is quite abstract. It is the reflection of some reeds on the shore.

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”     Henry David Thoreau

When I took this picture in Prescott, Az. I didn’t notice the lineup.  When I got home and took a look, I was once again struck by the serendipitous aspect one sometimes encounters in photography!
