“…after trying for so long to program computers to make drawings autonomously, I noticed one key factor that distinguished me from the machine: I wanted to make a good drawing. The first step in making a good drawing is recognizing and giving voice to the desire to create. The creative urge is the engine that will drive the great effort it takes to pursue art over the long term, and understanding the nature of this desire will be critical in staying motivated long enough to develop good work.
“…What makes a drawing good? It would be impossible to list all the qualities of a good drawing, and in any case the list would be different for each of us and each artwork we liked. Luckily, we don’t need a precise definition. We understand how to proceed with our creative work by developing our intuition and learning to pay attention to what we value and respond to.”

The shadows are a delicate touch to the hard lines of the bricks & concrete. I like how they look like dotted lines.

Thank you Allen. I’m trying to expand how I “see” and photograph street photography.
You are on the right path.

This is beautiful, Brenda – thank you! I was away for 2 months and am now back blogging. The creative process is quite an adventure of self-insight, isn’t it? ❤ Sending you blessings and love.

Welcome back Debbie. I do hope the two months were filled with joy and happiness. It is interesting to find myself pondering the creative process with a machine (camera)
