An experiment in creativity<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Farm is an experiment in photography, creativity, and process. Let’s see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding boundaries <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My approach comes from studying the classic names in photography, understanding their work, and finding my own way. This is about trusting my eye, my intuition, and myself. Easier said than done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The masters of photography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From Cartier-Bresson, to Minor White, Ansel Adams, and Robert Frank. Understanding their technical expertise and their vision are key.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The masters of painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Studying Andrew Wyeth, Sargent, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and many others influence my work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trust the process, right? Get out there, critique, analyze, and move forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Get out there<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a life-long endeavor. Time to get out there and get to work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Talk to my peers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So many talented, smart, and experienced photographers willing to share their ideas. Talk to those whose experience, knowledge and eye you trust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Look at the print on the wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So much that we visually consume is digital. Print what you love, look, learn, and improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Access resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Continue to take advantage of the digital, analog, and physical resources available today. Visit museums whenever possible. Go to art galleries. Engage in conversation about photography specifically and art in general.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
