images created from photos I have taken

A friend shared one of Annie Lennox's photos on FB.  I know of her from the Eurythmics, but when I looked at some of her visual work, I liked what I saw.

I was inspired to create images out of some photos I have taken. What do you think? Is it art? A quote from the Simpsons: " I don't know art, but I know what I hate" - but you know something?  I don't hate this.  I kind of like it, and feel that I could work with this. 

I hear a pounding on the roof... Here comes the rain again.

The muse is not a harsh mistress, but don't keep her waiting.

The muse is not a harsh mistress, but don't keep her waiting.  Some day she may be gone.

You ignore the muse to your peril.  She is a true lady, but it does not do to ignore her overtures.  Be prepared in season and out of season.  Where is the best place to take photos?  Where you are.  When is the best time to take photographs?  When you have a camera.  If inspiration hits, go with it.  See where it will lead you.  Learning to take photographs is not difficult.  The difficulty lies in learning how to see.  When the muse beckons, I think that it is because there is something worth seeing, but if we repeatedly ignore the nudgings, perhaps we will forget how to see, or else we just forget to see.  we cultivate our talents or we bury them.

Cold, rainy October nights provide us with lots of contrasts between darkness and light.  So as the daylight hours fade into night and we employ artificial light, photo opportunities abound if we have eyes to see and a camera at hand.
