Photo Collage

Photo Collage

Every so often I go through my old catalog of photographs to remove photographs that I’m sure I will never use. Today as I was going through the photos occasionally a photograph would intrigue me and I would stop to work on it a bit or decide that there was something there that I wanted to explore.

Towards the end of my cleanup today I started playing with a photograph of a small commercially produced statue I had made. I began by wondering what would happen if I replaced the face of the statue with a portion of another photograph and quickly moved to the kind of play where one thing suggests another and then another. It was the kind of play with no particular outcome in mind and it was great fun.

Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs. — James L. Hymes Jr.

This kind of play can be the birth of creative ideas or it can just be a fun change of pace. When was the last time you took time out to play?

Play is the answer to how anything new comes about. —  Jean Piaget
