Summer’s Veil, 2024 Double Exposure: Street Portrait and Midsummer Field Grass Creating abstract images is an essential part of the creative process. Not all photography needs to be clean and literal; sometimes, it's good to experiment and play. This image combines a street portrait of a woman waiting for the bus with tall, midsummer field grass. The resulting black-and-white double exposure produces an ethereal figure stepping out of a white field, capturing a sense of surreal beauty. If you turn on its side, you can recognize the field of grass. Play and experimentation are essential elements in the creative process, acting as catalysts for innovation and originality. When individuals engage in play, they allow themselves to explore ideas and materials without the constraints of preconceived notions or rigid goals. This freedom fosters a sense of curiosity and wonder, leading to unexpected discoveries and unique outcomes. By approaching creative endeavors with a mindset of play, one can break free from stylistic ruts and repetitive patterns, keeping their work fresh and dynamic. This principle applies across all creative fields, from art and design to writing and scientific research, highlighting the universal importance of maintaining an open, playful attitude to fully unlock one's creative potential.

Driving classroom adoption of EdTech, Games & Curricula | Expert in Game-Based Learning and K-12 Education | Instructional Designer | I make content more engaging and interactive.
I teach a class on storytelling through photography at the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY). One of the works I use is the book "Evidence" by Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel. The authors took 50 photographs from government publications and put them into their book without references. Devoid of their original context, the images were creepy, weird, and alien. I got to see an original copy of the book on display at the National Gallery of Art this weekend (see the book at the top of the photo). "Evidence" reminds us that photos and images are a part of storytelling. Used in content creation, especially in education, they need to be carefully selected and placed, not just plopped on a page as random window dressing. #photography #design #storytelling
