Great thoughts Mark. I have never concerned myself with having a “style”. I just do what makes me happy. If it looks like a style then great, if it doesn’t then so what I still have photos. A win-win situation.

All, thanks for the comments. It is somewhat of an oxymoron isn’t it? Being taught to develop an individual style – but then it rarely comes from thinking about it too much!

Sounds like a great show. I hope it swings through my area. Interesting thoughts on style. I’ve always thought of styles as shadows of ones creative self. As you journey through life your shadow morphs as the events or light around you change. Style to me is an important aspect to identify, reflect on and enjoy when viewing the work of others. It gives me insight to who they are and what they’re experiencing particularly when I have the opportunity to learn more about their life. I’ve never paid much attention to my personal style. It’s best to not really think about consciously for oneself in the short term. Interpretation of style is something that has greater meaning for others in retrospect. Thanks for the thought provoking post.
