Some of you will "get this" and some won't. Heh Ho. 

Today I attended a "Street Wisdom" event (www.streetwisdom.org/the-intent/ )

I thoroughly enjoyed it... it was selfishly indulgent time for introspection. When was the last time you got 3 hours to yourself to think deeply about the things that are on your mind ?

The "street" is an amazing source of beauty, stimuli and inspiration ... if only you slow down and take time to look around you. It's amazing where you can make random connections to join the dots in our complex thought processes. Using the stimuli around me I was able to answer some big personal questions as to the direction I want my life and next career move to go in. Watch this space.

As well as answering the big questions I also was able to restart my photography habit. These are a selection of the shorts of things that fuelled and inspired my thought process... don't try and second guess why... it was the right image at the right time. "Look and ye shall see" sort of moment.

Thanks to David Pearl and Chris Barez Brown for being an inspiration. I know that our paths will cross again in the future. Thanks also to Andy Reid our facilitator.
