Description
My daily routine begins around 4:30 a.m., and I use the next few hours to just play around with my images. What if I combine this with that? What if I rotate it? What if I introduce this particular color? What happens then? No plans, no rules, just experimentation. The result is often a delightful surprise, and that’s what happened here.
I had been photographing military bunkers on the Washington coast, looking for interesting patterns on weathered walls. I combined a number of those photos together and then added photos of torn Japanese papers from an antique screen. The color palette is unusual, the design is simple, and I like the left-right feeling of movement that runs across the image. A good morning indeed!

Lucky you to have the time (and freedom) to have this daily routine. (With congratulations, as well, for arranging your life this way.) The resulting of that quiet time are amazing!
