I mean if aliens came down to photograph Yosemite, how would they know what was 'original?' Is it possible to be completely original without ever having seen a photograph of an iconic place? This I wonder about. One aspect of this that is somewhat difficult is knowing which rung has already been stepped upon.

My awakening came while studying at one of John Seerey-Lester's atmospheric painting classes where my painting quickly took root and started to rapidly catch up with my graphite draftsmanship skills. I had studied and studied and his class just set a light to burning. For some it would mean diddle squat but to me it was a point in time I will base the rest of my art career on. Thanks again for the thought provoking article! Letting go, so hard but so essential.
