Weekly Photo Challenge: Possibility 02

The Weekly Photo Challenge: Possibility is again, a fascinating question from an artist’s point of view. In my previous post I reflected on the various possibilities innate to the “work in progress” as the image moves towards a final piece. In this post I am examining the different choices or possibilities one has to consider when deciding which piece conveys as an end result, the best concept and design.

To Illustrate this I have chosen a post created earlier in the year entitled: “The Narrow Way: Choosing a Path”.

Below are four examples of the final piece. Each image explores a different visual sensibility. In coming to a conclusion of which image I would use for the post, I took in consideration the design, what part of the image I wanted to emphasize, and what image intuitively drew me to it.

To find out what image became the final piece for the post, click on the link below and enjoy “The Narrow Way: Choosing a Path”.

What do you think? What image resonates best with you? How do you finalize the possibility found in a diverse choice?

It Only Takes a Moment to See the Things You Left Behind

Leave things to find happiness….

“Whatever you are feeling, leave it with the senses. Move from the senses to the mind. Then leave the mind. Go backward, not forward, go inward, not outward”. – Swami Parmanandji Maharaj

Leave the world with awareness

It Only Takes a Moment to Leave this Place

Contemplating the very thing that exist outside the corner of my eye….

There is no need to become free, for we are free already

It Only Takes a Moment to Find the Center

It only takes a moment to know that you always Exist….

Find the center of Awareness….

"Seeing nothing" is also an experience in which we can know we are present

It Only Takes a Moment

It only takes a moment to go beyond the noise…

Your experiences happen in you ... not in the world

Here are seven songs that I am sure have had heavy play in Paris, France. Stephane Pompougnac is the resident DJ at the famous Hotel Costes. For the last decade he has been mixing an incredible diverse sound of trip-hop, bossa nova, chill, house, and hip-hop for the Hotel Costes series. The groove is there and the beat flows. I highly recommend checking out this series as well as the Buddha Bar series. The Buddha Bar is another restaurant bar club in Paris, that is frequented by stars and the like and is hosted by different DJ’s. My favorite Buddha Bar mixer is DJ Ravin. Stayed tuned for a look at the playlist of the Buddha Bar series as well.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Sunset 02

A creative moment on a bench during a slow sunset over time. It is a beautiful evening at Lake Greenwood in South Carolina. The shadows are long as the sun sets through the trees.
