365 Days of Creativity!

 

Day 19...    

 

 

Day 18...    

The Eighteenth Day of 365 Days of Creativity led me to reproduce an antique moment. You can't beat a good cup of tea. A refreshing brew that has been passed down the ages. To be had with or without milk and sugar at any time of day. What better way is there to relax and refocus than over a cuppa...

 

Day 17...    

Day Seventeen of 365 Days of Creativity. An orange. My favourite fruit. Packed with the sweetness of nature and healthy too. I'm drawn to the sun-like centre of this picture as the camera flash reflects off its pitted skin. A nice effect. Oranges and lemons, go the bells....

 

Day 16...    

The Sixteenth Day of 365 Days of Creativity shows a typical residential London skyline. The houses of Streatham stretch out into the distance and you can just make out the tall spire of St. Leonards church at the centre. This church actually has bells which you can hear ring out every Sunday morning. Very pleasing it is to the ear too...

 

Day 15...    

Day the Fifteenth of 365 Days of Creativity. I was out and about in Streatham, South London and glanced upon this cool visual. Something nostalgic about old railway tunnels and the design is a classic one. There's always light at the end of the tunnel so never give up on your goals and dreams...

 

Day 14...    

The Fourteenth Day of 365 Days of Creativity brings a watery environment to the fore. Something about this caught my eye. Maybe it was the winding bath plug chain, maybe it was the tiny air bubbles all around. Whatever it was, it plugged the gap in creative inspiration I was looking for...

 

Day 13...    

The Thirteenth Day of 365 Days of Creativity brings part of a Chinese tea set. Known as Gong Fu Cha, Chinese tea is often served as an elaborate ritual and tastes good too! I like the painted design which is beautifully detailed.

 

Day 12...    

A outdoor vision for the Twelfth Day of 365 Days of Creativity. Not sure what this plant is called but it stood out in such a way that I had to take the shot. Growing wild and free like so many plants in nature, it was nice to stop and take a bit of time to appreciate its simple beauty...

 

Day 11...    

The Eleventh Day of 365 Days of Creativity. I was prompted to write down a few words of poetry on that thing called love. Straight from the heart and onto the page. Enjoy...

 

Love affects us in many ways, sending us fleeting through a maze,

Joyous highs and tumultuous lows, an emotional rollercoaster, everyone knows.

Cupid's arrows striking deep, some people are awake and others asleep,

Impetuous Fire and Ice and Desire, these are the feelings that grip us entire.

Soaring above with the greatest of ease, that's what love feels like, more of that please,

Two people together, stronger and clever, their bond is one that's impossible to sever.

Able to bridge vast oceans apart, with thoughts in the head and songs in the heart,

These are my writings, all of them true, what more need be said than "I love you".

 

Day 10...    

Day the Tenth of 365 Days of Creativity. A skyward shot of the main entrance gate of London Chinatown. I thought the angle of the gate in this photo, as opposed to its surroundings, was an interesting one. Upwards and onwards...!

 

Day 9...    

The Ninth Day. 365 Days of Creativity. Looking down a pint glass. I love how the glass surface reflects the flash of the camera and projects the shadow in the form of rings. The glass is half full... metaphorically speaking...

 

Day 8...    

On the Eighth Day of 365 Days of Creativity, another poem sprang forth from the deepest recesses of the mind. An Ode to Life, so to speak. Enjoy...

 

Walking through this wondrous thing called life, admiring its beauty left and right,

I'm struck by all of nature's gifts, providing us with a powerful lift.

People, animals and plants, stretching wide from England to France,

Guyana, China, America too, stunning visions for me and you.

Just looking around us, leads us to see, everyday life in its gorgeous variety,

Buildings, trees, clouds and cars, and with a telescope, you can see Mars.

Binded all together with love, deftly darting around like a dove,

Raising a smile and mending hearts, forging unions, thus never can part.

So lift up your head and taste the breeze, feel the wind in your hair, see the leaves on the trees.

Life is amazing, this much is true, I'm grateful for every day of it too.

 

Day 7...    

Day Seven of 365 Days of Creativity. I decided to call this shot 'Back to Nature'. A finely carved wooden mannequin framed among the roughness of wild plants and broken branches. A very organic feel overall and taken in darkness to accentuate the shadows of the leaves.

 

Day 6...    

The sixth day of 365 Days of Creativity pays homage to the creativity of others. Namely, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Godfathers of modern day superhero fiction. Featuring action figures of the Classic Avengers line up of Thor, Giant-Man, Hulk and Iron Man from Marvel Comics. I thought this picture, with its restricted, slightly claustrophobic feel, would be the perfect answer to yesterday's wide open space of Streatham Common.

 

Day 5...    

On the fifth day of 365 Days of Creativity, visions of Streatham Common were taken. This local park in South London, UK is a ten minute walk from me and is great to experience a vast green open space. I went there early afternoon to take a few pictures.

I've been playing with my camera's resolution in order to bring out more colours, more vibrancy and more life. I love the colour contrast of the three layers of sky, buildings and grass.

The above tree seems so majestic to me, the way it stands at the top of the Common. Its branches reaching out to embrace its serene surroundings. The photo below is looking down the Common and the sea of green stretches out as far as the eyes can see....

 

Day 4...    

For the fourth day of 365 Days of Creativity I have been inspired to create another poem. Releasing what was in my mind and letting the words form themselves. I call it 'Reach for the Sky...'. Enjoy.

 

Reach for the sky, it's not so high, to see the clouds whizz past as you fly.

Onto your dreams, nothing it seems, can stop you from always finding the means.

What do you wish for? Happiness and love? Things you can get by aiming above.

Or is it abundance? There is no real hindrance, just keep going and soon you will see its appearance.

The Universe is in motion, it has the success lotion, the changes it brings causes positive commotion.

So lift up your head, dust off your mind, those who have achieved what you want, try to find.

Learn from these heroes, their actions and their thinking, you will learn from their golden path to winning.

Inspiration is nigh, goals will come by, all can be attained when you reach for the sky.

 

Day 3...    

Day the Third. Of 365 Days of Creativity. This is my violin at rest.

The sheer beauty of its design comes only second to the magnificient sound it makes when the bow strokes the strings. It's said that music is the sound of the soul. Hearing a violin piece is enough to tug at my heartstrings. Enough to feel every note as if it were the song of a sweet voice drifting through the ether.

Listen.

You just might be able to hear it...

 

Day 2...    

And so, the second day of Project 365. I decided to take a couple of photos showing a glorious sunset over South London, UK taken from the highest window of my house. Note the difference in colour tones between the bright and dazzling first photo...

...to the more muted and serene second picture. Imagine gazing out over the horizon. Where does your mind take you...? Once upon a dream...

 

Day 1...    

Okay, for my first day of Project 365 I present a poem. Freshly created, off the cuff and dedicated to the one I love. Enjoy.

 

Ice and Desire, taking me higher, soaring above with Impetuous Fire.

Your warm embrace, your sweet, sweet face are all I want to feel in this place.

Deep in your slumber, can you count the number, of times I ache for you as I hunger?

Just being together, I need you forever, to be in your arms is like laying on heather.

So love, as I go, to create and to sow, seeds of motivation throughout creation,

Keep me in mind, our love can only bind, I'm yours and this fact you will surely find.

 

Prologue...
   

Inspired by several blogs of the 2010 Project 365 variety, including the amazing Sparkle Chi 365 and Cammi 365, I've decided to join the creative masses. I aim to add a daily dose of my creative efforts, made on that day, to this page for an entire year. 365 days. It could be a photograph, a piece of writing, a drawing, a video or a poem.

Look out for something new and I hope it will inspire others to be similarly creative.
