Keep it yours

“It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”

– Martha Graham

🐝 I spy a busy bee at the light-box making honey – Jo working on the next picture book to go alongside Fox and The Rare Monkey books.

Shot on 35mm Ilford Delta Pro 400 with Nikon FE + AIS lens (50mm?), processed with Foma chemistry, scanned with Canon 6D and Nikon 105mm f2.8 ais lens on a PN11 extension tube; post-processing with Darktable on Ubuntu Linux.

…as it looks to you

Water Lillies (Claude Monet, 1919)

“When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact colour and shape.”

Claude Monet
