As a reader Tarot has fascinated me for many years. I love the connection it creates between you and the querant – the privilege of being let into their life for even a brief time to explore things that really matter to them. And the process of giving them the gift of maybe seeing something that had been intractable to them in a whole new light. / I also love masque and candle light so Alison joined me to try and pull these different elements together.

This is a reflection of autumn grapevine leaves on a bedroom window taken in late afternoon light. I took a long time to position the camera on a tripod to create a balanced composition of the reflection and my daughter. She loves reading, so the frown is one of intense concentration, not unhappiness. Not a double exposure! Taken with Velvia and a Nikon F4. Scan by Jeremy Daalder.

This has been (or at least things like this) about for years. / I do find it pretty amazing though….
I saw this itty bitty image on a part of big giant bulletin board at a private College in Staten Island, NY. Then I made it B&W and got rid of distractions to come up with this ‘little guy’. I love it…he inspires me “to read” more. :)
Taken on a night shoot recently in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, with Redbubblers Joseph Darmenia and Chris Dowd. / Hand held 40D stretched to the limit, 1/4 sec, f2.8, ISO1600 / PS The beautiful classic fedora hat seen in this photo has now gone to hat heaven. It was last seen in my dog’s basket chewed to bits, after a somewhat tired photographer left it within reach on the dining table! Beagles!!, don’t you love them. /

There are times in our lives where we all feel like we’re not producing enough work or nurturing our creativity. It’s easy to reach a point where you feel as though you haven’t been creative for ages. Today I’d to share a little tool that has helped me avoid that feeling, even when I’m too snowed under to even contemplate spending time on a project. It’s called a feed reader (otherwise known as a software based aggregator or RSS reader). A feed reader allows you to read updates from multiple blogs and websites in one place, and saves visiting all your favourite blogs on a regular basis. It’s a useful tool for keeping up to date with news an information on the topics that you’re passionate about including art, design, photography and writing. It can serve as a great learning tool and source of ideas and inspiration … a bit like having a daily newspaper written just for you. Here’s a peek at just a few of the many (currently over 60) blogs I keep an eye on: / / / / / / Setting up a feed reader is quite simple. There are many web based feed readers including Google Reader, Bloglines and Netvibes. All you need to do is sign up for an account then add the feeds you’d like to follow. Each time you sign into you feed reader, you’ll have a list of recent posts on your chosen topics. For those who are interested in finding out more, these links should help: Which Feed Reader is best? Web Based Aggregators How News Aggregators and RSS Readers Work RSS explained And if you’re interested in finding some creative content, these lists are a good start: Top 20 (or so) Art Blogs 160 t-shirt blogs Bloglines most followed blogs The Top 100 Photography Blogs Best art and design blogs of 2009 Top 10 Blogs for Writers Top 100 Creative Writing Blogs This is how I make sure I get my daily dose of creativity outside of the bubble. How do you stay inspired and motivated when you don’t have time to create? We’d also like to hear about the creative blogs you follow … Nat
Twas amazing floating around in the water next to you my dear, the silence was comfortable, but why, my dear, did you not say you could not swim? It was great to be back in the water to take underwater shots again, had to wait a year almost! / But this shot is inspired by a brilliant South African band called Dear Reader. This song is a poignant song with a double twist. It is about apartheid and the seperation between the two races and how black and whites couldn’t be in love… who prevents love? It shows how hearts were torn apart due to the inhumane time in South Africa. White in the Dark… love is most powerful and not even barriers, both physical and figurative, can stop it… Great White Bear He climbed into the belly of the great white bear / It’s very sticky and it smells a little fishy / But no one will look for him there / He took a moment to pick his thoughts and make them clear Oh, what a day it’s been / Oh, what a terrible state he’s in (x2) Her eyes are wired, there’s a hat over her thick black hair / They’re racing through the snow / Their sweaty hands keep slipping / But they’re almost there / Her father’s shotgun ringing out now through the cold night air Oh, what a fix they’re in / Oh, what a terrible sin / Oh, what a fix they’re in / Oh, what a terrible sinister game / The hunter did play / To give them the hope / That they could get away / When biding his time / He did wait down the line / To bring a disaster / On their youthful dreams of escape Oh what a day it’s been / Oh what a day it’s been Run, there’s a bullet in your back / Run, run, there’s a bullet in your back / Run, run, run, there’s a bullet in your back / But I wouldn’t take it back, I wouldn’t take it back / Run, run, run, there’s a bullet in your back / But I wouldn’t take it back, I wouldn’t take it back / Run, run, run, there’s a bullet in your back / But I wouldn’t take it back, I wouldn’t take it back / Run, run, run there’s a bullet in your back / And I want to take it back I want to, want to / I want to, want you / I want you, want you / I want you, want you, want you, want you back Do watch the Video, its a piece of art itself / Featured in Blue Art
