Дождливая Суббота

Saturday. Rain

Наш дом и церковь, что через дорогу...

Наши Субботы
Зёрнышко Кунжута

Натюрморт. Эскиз

Still Life. Sketch

Падение Икара

Февраль...

Достать чернил и плакать?.. *** "...и вещий ворон с криком "карр" летит туда, где пал Икар..."

One Of A Million Paths

"Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy - it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it." The Teachings of Don Juan Carlos Castaneda

JPC Transcripts - Part 3

The following are the transcripts found in Creativity Section on JPC website. Part 3: Think Outside The Box The box causes you to repeatedly search the same ground and find the same results. The box is usually created by unacknowledged rules of conduct. To think outside of the box you first need to define the box. Solution? List all of your assumptions. While some are created personally, many are inherited culturally. We all live in many cultures simultaneously: geographic, professional, familial, etc. Often what seems most obvious will limit you the most. Once these invisible guidelines become visible you will find yourself empowered with the new choices – the act of making things visible is a catalyst for change.

JPC Transcripts - Part 2

The following are the transcripts found in Creativity Section on JPC website. Part 2: 180 Degrees The most powerful creative technique provides an opportunity for you to shift your perspective. The most powerful technique of all is reversal – shift your perspective 180 degrees. Make an observation or an assertion, then make an observation from an opposite perspective or assert the opposite. Use it as a tool for exploration. Many ideas will come to life. It may take a little practice to find a real utility in any technique. So don’t give up to quickly, you’ll also find every technique has its limitations. This technique leads you towards framing things as dichotomies – “either… or” choices, rather than dialectics or "spectrum of possibilities". How is this helps me? Let me count the ways. Here is one - it has been tremendously stimulating for me to constantly shift between making minimally altered photographs and highly altered images.

"I Must Not Fear..."

Bluefeather was reading Frank Herbert's "Dune" for the last couple of days. Every now and then he would share a passage or two with me... Among many of them, there were these two: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." *** "Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it’s a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain."

JPC Transcripts - Part 1

The following are the transcripts found in Creativity Section on JPC website. I find that I absorb any information better when/if I actually see it written as opposed to just listening to it... Part1: Learn to be more creative You can learn to be more creative. How? Let me count the ways… Try these five for starters: 1. Acknowledge that you are creative and commit yourself to becoming even more creative. 2. Identify your habits, then consistently and systematically challenge your habits. 3. Become more versatile by expanding your technical and perceptual skill sense. 4. Study ways that other people are creative - practice and adapt those ways to suit your needs. 5. Place yourself in a creative environment that will prompt you to generate more work and new ideas." John Paul Caponigro - "is one of the most creative visual artists working today.
