Now I don't consider myself to have any artistic talent of note but street photography has begun to tap into whatever creativity my DNA will allow me to produce. I'm also lucky enough to have an iPad and I stumbled across an application called 'Paper by FiftyThree' that is a sketchbook app. You have to try it for yourself really, but suffice to say it flatters my sketching and I had the idea of generating some 'art' using my images as my muse.
'Just standing'
'Just street, 70's style' *
* Not one my best titles or images, I just thought his jacket looked a bit 70's.
As with my street photography and blogging, I'm in the novice stage with this but it's something I'll be continuing with. I'm trying to think of a way to combine my 'art' with the image as a print but haven't found a nice way to do it yet.
The benefit on the street is that it encourages me to look at scenes in regards to 'art' and this does help me to get into the zone when shooting. You can argue all day about whether street photography is art, I have no doubt that it can be and an artistic eye can only be an advantage when shooting.
My 'art' muscle is certainly one I'll be working on alongside my photography, as years of neglect have left it a little saggy.
