Inspiration's a wonderful thing when it comes around. Knowing what we really care about, what moves us, is as important to being successful as is technical prowess. Maybe it's landscape, or the people we love - we have to know what feeds our hearts and satisfies our artist eyes. Those days when inspiration is in short supply it's good to remember that exploration, observation, and discovery is at the heart of the process. So we put ourselves in places we've never been, look at the commonplace from strange new angles, put our heads against the earth, or climb to higher views. Sooner or later - and it rarely takes long - discovery feeds inspiration and we're back in the game. That's why this web site stays strong, why I see so many beautiful images from you and the others, and why we always look forward to the next assignment.
