Most of the time I tend to work in a series of images around an idea, but recently I wanted to just create images without a theme. My starting point this month was to review images that I had taken on our road trip last summer. I knew I had just scratched the surface from that 6 week drive to Boston and back. I started off with an image that I took with the Slow Shutter app on my phone that I didn't really like. I used it as a challenge to see what I could create using it as a base layer. I took several Cleveland images that were blended together with it and the result became part of the Urban City Scapes series. So much for not working with a theme in mind.

Back to my desire for random editing and this was the next image created a few days later.

The Arrival of Spring

A few days later I realized that I had used the same base layer in the first two images and all of a sudden I had a theme for the month. I would continue to use that same base image, that I really don't like, and see what else could be created.

After the above 2 images ended up as Urban City Scapes, I thought it was time to try something very different again.

Valentines Day Fall

Maybe you are wondering what that base layer looked like - just don't ask me what I took a photo of as I actually have no idea. My best guess is that I was attracted to the colours and took a multiple exposure image of whatever it was.

My favorite keeps changing as I scroll through this group. I would love to know what you think.
