Make bad art

agave nights

My photography playmate Tina Kelly Green shared a homework assignment given to her by Mark Lindsay—to spend a period of time making “bad photography”. Break all the rules…no attachment to the outcome…loosen the tyranny of perfection. This inspired idea came to me with a laugh so I jumped in. In the course of a thousand plus blurred, out of focus and upside down images, I began to see the occasional surprise, temptation, hint of brilliance. Tracking moments of awe, I allowed the camera direct me toward more intentional rhythm and movement, smaller aperture settings, lower light conditions, searching for distinct lines and patterns. "It feels like passing through the light of day into dreamtime". More images on my website in Beyond Form portfolio.
