On Fridays I like to take a few minutes just for myself and do something purely creative. Just for me and just for fun. It helps me stay creative through the week and gives me something to look forward to. It helps me explore possibilities, makes me think / relax, and allows me to keep up on techniques that I may not use everyday.

This Week I decided to try to re-create a feeling that I had on a recent vacation to San Diego.

The first photo is a photo that I took under a pier that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. While I love the photo it doesn’t exactly express the moment that it was taken.

The second photo more accurately expresses the moment.

I only wanted to take a minute to do this and it’s not perfect but sometimes small things like this keep me creative and ready to take on the next project.

What do you do to stay creative and fresh through the week?
