What inspires you?

The ARTery wants to know what inspires you. Leave your inspiration story below...maybe you will inspire someone else!

Now go be inspired and take some pictures outside. Draw something. Doodle, paint or sew something wonderful. You can do it....speaking of art, I am going to go make some now!

Happy Spring

I love crocus. The end of snow, the beginning of warm weather. Hello, lovelies.

Quotes from famous photographers

"I would say to any artist: 'Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.'" Edward Weston to Ansel Adams

"All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. " Richard Avedon

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." Ansel Adams

"… put your camera around your neck along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you." Dorothea Lange

Spring quote

"Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'" Robin Williams

It's nice out, so go outside and use your camera

That is what I am going to do right now. Take my rowdy boys, my dog, myself and my camera and go play outside. And take pictures. Gotta love spring time!

I like this one

" I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its *** in a museum." Claus Oldenburg

This actually might work

Check this out. I love the people over at Photojojo. I think, since I have time off this week, that I might have to try this. I still have all of my old darkroom supplies; I would just need the coffee, powdered vitamin C and fixer. Too cool!
