I sent notification to my subscribers yesterday of a new Level within my Simple Photography Tips. If you've not read it, perahps have a look and see if it's of interest.

The weather is broken cloud, the sun peeking through, then hiding again. You’re in the mood for looking, for noticing. Seeking something quirky in this seemingly rather featureless wintery lane, as a diversion from Christmas 'festivities' perhaps. You might start to notice a few things; the way the recycled road material has formed a pebbly surface, with shapes and shadows. The trees either side of you, and the way their trunks sit in parallel up to the sky.

I noticed a little “face” in this weathered plank of wood – knots for eyes, a small, tired mouth. Years of rain, sun and pressure have carved out something strangely human. It reminded me of a line from a prayer by Joshua Luke Smith: “You are both a work of art, and an artist at work.”

Not a simple photography tip as such, but more like life inspiration through Photography and Words—a mix of visual with sometimes meaningful reflections. Do you know anyone for whom this is true, perhaps you? Let me know, I'd be interested.
