WISE MONKEY!

Ever wondered if you can be truly silent?...well erm I've tried and nope no can do! 
The thing is I am intrinsically an analyser I often think it too much and 8/10 times I end up being more confused than before, madness I know! But thats what happens when you end up with a quizzillion options and alternate motives all surmised about a situation that you have experienced.

Anyways I have finally realised that I shouldn't over think it!
Events in my life, no matter how difficult or amazing, happen for a reason. Maybe thats not completely clear at first but after some soul searching I  now understand that sometimes you just have to stop and breath and without sounding too mung beans and rainbows just encompass it, just steal a moment to take stock of the situation.

I have learnt some of this from the little people meaning the kids in my life and of course the big people the ones closest to me that have remained a constant.

The latest release by Sissy Sparrows 'Solitary Echo' really touches on this very thing. Be Silent and own your fears. Know yourself and learn to love 'you' again and hey don't sweat the little things life is way too tentative to be wasting valuable time over small things, small mindedness and negativity!
My first creative team page is one using some photos I took at a recent photoshoot a friend and I did. I edited them using my own technique for achieving a high pass look. This means its a highly saturated image and with some photo's this can look quite eye catching and works especially well with black and white photo's depending on the original lighting ;)
