Creativity

Here is a quote I found today. I will use this to lead me back into the creative side of my life.

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
Albert Einstein

Tonight's images comes from another day of shooting while out with (are you surprised) Darren. Last spring Darren and I decided to hike up the "R" Mountain west of town. It was a very enjoyable day. I had not been up there for some time and discovered some new things about the butte. First, I forgot how high up above the valley floor you feel when you are on top. Second, I discovered these beautiful rock formations. Third, I realized just how much the area has really started to be developed.

Oh, here is one more quote to follow up with last night's blog post. No matter what most republicans claim . . .

"The important thing is not to stop questioning."
Albert Einstein

Enjoy the images.

I wasn't aware that 'R' mountain offered any interesting outcroppings like those. It just looks so plain from the valley floor. Did you shoot those with a wide format camera, or are they cropped?
And by the way, stop pickin' on us poor republicans!

Sorry about that Brian. I get carried away on occasion. Just ask Darren.

Yeah, I shot those with a 6x12 back on my Speed Graphics with my 65mm lens.

Thanks Mark. No I didn't attend the opening. It was in Michigan and I was feeling poor at the time. I may try to make it to Toronto for the second show's opening.
