Take advantage of changes
Photo: My Mom holding my Dad's hand as he recovers from surgery.
This photo summarizes a principle in creativity that I adhere to, it is this, I create because I enjoy it... but also, so as to interject or confirm a good (hint: "good" as in Aquinas, Plato and Aristotle) in life. My Dad's recent bout with cancer was difficult... but it is in how we handle these challenges that defines life. We can be lazy and get beaten down... OR rather choose to transcend the negative aspects by drawing attention to the good.
It may seem trivial but converting confusion and negative experiences into positive elements is life-giving and often documenting these negative occasions in art or photography can help us all reflect on the good in them. This touching photo captures the love and devotion my parents have shared for over 50 years; central in the image is the wedding ring and its sign of commitment.
