A working studio becomes layered with a deep and wondrous treasure trove of raw material. When I become a camera the possibilities of framing chance encounters with surreal and inspiring compositions are limitless. This series shares my captures of random juxtapositions that caught my eye. Some I may use as source ideas for painting, but all are complete in themselves as examples of sagacious serendipity.
The scraps of writing and doodles are taken from my version of a sketchbook which consists of bits of paper I scribble on as I moodle around the studio.

Love the idea and this ecevution of it John. Thank you
Wow John……your studio is definitely full of rich and exciting “stuff”!
I love the power of this one. This makes me want to search for all of the space in time that I have tossed to the sharks.
Your photos remind me, or more accurately have me imagining, Brion Gysin and Burroughs at the Beat Hotel in Paris on the cusp of reinventing the cut up technique. Great series of images. Regards Mark.
Your studio is a goldmine, my friend!!! 🙂
love this concept
‘Shed skins’ certainly rings a bell for me 🙂
You are welcome my friend, I’m having fun with it and besides it’s a good excuse not to clean-up the studio 😉
as is your head Robert 😉
Thank you Carl…perhaps you could catch those sharks and persuade them to regurgitate it…
Inspired by your heart Marina…
I am happy you do Stacey, thank you…
I’m glad and honoured to be active in your belfry Liam…
As an old ‘Beat’ at heart I am honoured that my chance perceptions evoke such imaginings for you…thank you Mark…
tHaNks John 😦
Also……remember Einstein’s quote “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
Ah my friend, no sad face needed, it was meant with all positivity and from the heart…
Did I screw up my smiley face…….sorry John 🙂 🙂 🙂
