Out of Ideas. Out of Focus.

Making art isn’t always some spiritually awaking experience with sparks flying out of your fingers and your eyes glowing with crazed inspiration. Sometimes you wake up and nothing comes. Some days you don’t feel like it. So you look for ideas. The following set was an impromptu experiment where I intentionally took photos out of focus (this is something I’ve seen done by […]
