Burst of Blue

I'm guest blogging on 365 just show up. It's a new blog about the creative practice.

Maybe some of you also follow Audrey Low, who has the fabulous blogs Papaya Tree Limited and Wildhoop Productions. Audrey created 365 just show up to encourage people on the creative journey. (Audrey creates a lot of fascinating work herself, as an ethnographer, writer, photographer and documentary filmmaker!)

I was thinking of the saying "every cloud has a silver lining"

There is a light beyond the storm.

All photos were taken with my iPhone using Camera+ app. Camera+ is great. It has a zoom feature, guidelines so you can get straight shots, lots of neat editing features and effects. Before editing, the photos didn't look great. With some experimentation, I was able to improve them a lot.

Washington Mews, New York City

There are quaint little streets with cobblestones, and cute little houses, like you would see in a village in Europe.

Washington Mews is near Washington Square.

One of the lovely old streets of Greenwich Village.
