Gulls/ocean photos for Creative Self Exploration are all shot on the one trip I made to Sado Island, Niigata, JPN circa 2003.
Introduction
…for you are the greatest source of mystery, a deepest reservoir of Creative Intelligence…
A year-long, weekly “progressive post(s)” as a fun project for both myself and (hopefully) you, the visitor.
Relying on my intuition, I will come up with a weekly theme relating to “Creative Self Exploration”.
Last November I did the first “progressive post” experiment on the post Photo a Day, November 2023 (please scroll all the way down to “Afterward” where I talk more about the intuition bit), which became an inspiration for this year-long commitment.
Origin of the idea is an exercise I have been practicing since 2019 to give myself a weekly theme for advancing my personal / internal freedom, largely for the sake of becoming a better artist.
In this experiment however, I decided not to set a specific direction/purpose (e.g. freedom, advancement, etc…) but rather, to leave it open ended – and let the process unfold at your end.
Few Important Notes
