Play has been man’s most useful preoccupation. ~Frank Caplan
Oh…wait…where is that message coming from? Do you know what I did most of the day? I worked on new Urban Colors images from Boston. I “goofed off and played” is the message I sent myself most of the day. Funny how that happens, those messages dominate.
Newsflash to me…”Working on images is not considered play.”
Almost all creativity involves purposeful play. ~Abraham Maslow
Thanks, Maslow. I always did like you. Must be that colorful pyramid you created.
So since I spent yesterday at “purposeful play” I should share some of the frivolity with you. We made it through Monday, after all. I’m sure we can all use a little frivolity today.
Come on, let’s COLOR!
These melissaAnne Urban Colors Collection images were captured around Boston a few weekends ago. I REALLY like Boston and enjoyed walking around Newbury Street and taking in all the colors, architecture, fashion, and people. I think I’ll visit again soon…

You’ll never guess what this was! Pretty energetic, huh? Are you awake now? Ready to tackle the world? I thought so!

Wild Beauty. I love the BOLD color! A door, just a random door in Boston. Beauty is everywhere, you just have to look.
So, I think I’ll “play” some more today. Maybe I will put a few of these new images up on my website. Maybe I’ll create a gallery for a new series I’m calling Reflection Colors. You know, just “goof off”, with purpose of course.
Do you have messages? Are you listening to them? Are they holding you back?
