Thematic Vision - Phase I

Today, I received my new business cards. I’m quite delighted in how they came out - thank all of you in participating in this journey together. I can hear the applause all the way over here in my living room.

Sue, you posted a most intriguing question to me the other day - what vision do you hold for your photography? I’ve been ruminating for days - that’s why you haven’t heard from me earlier. Decisions and revisions a moment will reverse. Sorry for the delay.

I’ve been thinking, how do I answer that now? A thematic vision is one piece of my strategy. I have these ‘Night Light’ series. You’ve seen several of these photographs on my blog. Periodically, I leave the comfort of my home and go into the night as a hunter looking for its prey.

One night after a beautiful rainstorm I jumped into my car and drove around my hometown searching for potential magical images. There before me I saw a marvelous glitter of blue splashing onto the sidewalk. A nail shop magically transformed into a gorgeous reflection. What is now Streetscape IV is that very same mundane nail shop by day. My specialty is magic out of the ordinary and revealing its depths.

More another day. Please share your comments with me. Thank you.

~~ Susan Elkin

    Thank you Sue, I do need a nudge. I’ve been working on my screen play and have begun writing a book about my experiences as a customer/client in businesses where servicing the customer/client is a bit lacking. It’s sort of a primer for people who are interested in improving their “bottom line.” I believe that’s a corporate term, money - you know, increasing profits.

    It’s been my experience making sure the person who wants to spend their hard earned money on whatever your selling is more pampered. I just thought I would lend a helping hand in sharing some pointers that may possibly help increase their do, re, mi.

    How are you doing, Sue?
