The Surrealist VI"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute
whatever for the force and beauty of its process." -- Max Eastman
Question For You: What does Surrealism mean to you?

The Surrealist II"Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realized that the
imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality." - John Lennon
A surrealist generates creative works that exposes the inner mind in bizarre and symbolic ways.
Surrealist art depicts dream imagery and archetypal symbols derived from the unconscious.
The surrealist employs collage aesthetics as a way to tap into the subconscious.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
~Scott Adams
I was fascinated this week by an article about the Photographer who survived a year only on Penguin Steaks. When I read further I was enlightened about an exhibition to the Antarctic that I had never before heard of. In 1914, Sir Shakleton along with 27 men, 69 dogs and a cat sailed from Buenos Aires to Antarctica. They wanted to be the first to cross the Antarctic Continent on foot. However their boat became trapped and they lived on the ship for 10 months. Some of the photographs captured of those moments are wonderful - timeless creations of moments when all you really have to keep yourself occupied with, is thinking and existing. To cut a long exhibition short, they spend almost two years (some of them) existing on penguins and biscuits. But the whole time they were there, Frank Hurley, a Photog

I mood feel just like you!A person without a soul, that is, walking corpses.
Photo no soul, that is, a bunch of gibberish.
Contains photos with the soul of the sincere emotion.
Soul of the image will move others moved their own.
Please forgive me, I have been no progress in English!

Some emotions, without confession佛曰：命由己造，相由心生，世间万物皆是化相，心不动，万物皆不动，心不变，万物皆不变。

The Surrealist V

"I guess surrealism has a draw for me because it's an unknown world.
It's a world of subconscious. Some things you can't really get your hands on very easily.
Things that are kind of nebulous and they feel like the're not completely formed.
You have to feel your way through that." -- Gotye

"Replace Fear of the Unknown with Curiosity..."
As the year crawls into the final quarter - lots of challenges and daily photo tasks and so on begin to conclude. I have personally been challenging myself with the 365 Photography challenge - a photo a day for a whole year. It has been tricky to say the least, especially as I set myself a high standard of capturing more than one Photo a day - but also rewarding. Setting yourself a challenge, whether it's following the 52 week photography challenges that are out there, or doing a themed challenge such as 365 breakfasts - is a great way of expanding on your portfolio. Whilst it sometimes means that you struggle to find anything interesting to photograph or share, on the days that you do, you're one step closer to building another aspect of your portfolio.
Next week in Photography Troubleshooting - we will be looking at Money Matters and so

“Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”
- Albert Einstein
I don't know about you, but Light Painting has to be really unique and awesome in order to impress me. So when I stumbled across the work of Darren Pearson aka Darren Twin - I was astounded at the creativity and simple methods used to create his conceptual photographic pieces. Darren creates LED pictures of Skeletons Skateboarding, dancing and living - exploring what the Mail Online has termed as the bare bones of our daily lives. And it really is precisely that. Darren takes the ordinary, the mundane and the normal of everyday life and lights it up by night by painting bones. Check it out for yourself. That prompted me to go searching for some of my favourite light painted pieces here
