Play more, less serious photography

Often I take my photography too seriously by trying to create a sense of realism even though I may have altered reality. Yesterday, I played with features in Photoshop I have only toyed with but never used to create anything.

I decided that it really doesn’t matter about reality, it matters about creativity. It matters about imagination. It matters about art. With all the daily issues in our lives, we can definitely use the time to just play.

Try it, just let go and try some bizarre editing techniques. Make something up, try something odd or unusual. Creating art isn’t always about reality. We often times need an escape from reality.
