Writing has often been my linguistic photography. Up until my 34th birthday, I started doing some real traveling, I barely ever took photographs. That forced me to write pieces that had specific memories attached to them. Reading them over uploaded the same remembrances that flipping through an old photo album do.

Now I photograph regularly, and so my writing has adjusted. It has become more an art than the science it used to be.

My recent method for ideas taps into my empathic nature. I have been writing pieces trying to use the point of view of others. Even if it's about things we have in common, just having a second voice in your head massages the imagination. Ever read a poem "written" by a dog? Same technique, just dialed down.
