Elasticity of thought

It is a strange thing to talk to technology after you have shuttered it away for 4 weeks.  The past 4 weeks have been a wonderful break from cell phones, internet, emails and telephones.  The only technology that I allowed myself was my camera.

It was not an intentional retreat from technology, but a focused effort on being in the here and now, as I explored new directions in a fabulous photo workshop with +Trina Koster in Cuba, and spent some quality family time on vacation after. 

As I reflect on the past 4 weeks, I am reminded that the mind is an elastic thing that looses its flexibility if stretched too long in one direction without break. I am feeling more flexible and am anxious to reengage my works in progress at the studio.
