It's all about the work... I suppose I adopted that line from Andy Warhol. I think if you are in the creative realm, if you are really committed to what you do, you end up putting it all in the work. You can't help it. And everything in your life, in your background, in your foreground, comes through. That's the beauty of it. That's what makes art important. And transcendent, and inspiring. We put the best of ourselves into the work. Maybe sometimes the worst too. Makes it all more compelling and layered... etc.
Anyway, my favorite photographer, Michael Doubrava has just posted some new work. I am just totally bowled over by this man's vision. He creates another world. Sometimes it's a lovely order, or maybe a lovely disorder. And things that seem like they seem, aren't what they seem.
Or they are... or... you know, there's the real, the surreal and the beyond the real too. Michael's work is beautiful and mysterious and exquisite. And if you know his methods, and his madness, you can't help but be inspired. And your faith in the creative project is renewed...
