contemporary 

minimalist or maximalist 

rustic or modern and mid-century modern

eclectic or traditional

family-centric 

industrial 

coastal and so on.

And in addition to all of this selections, scroll down the page to see other products using my images for numerous other uses for your home, such as Christmas ornaments, puzzles, shower curtains, fleece blankets, yoga mats, throw pillows, and so on.

The Healing of Art

Art, that which hangs on our walls, sits on our mantels

and our dressers, is what can heal us.....

 If we looked at what we choose to try healing our minds, our hearts, and our souls with, we would find that our paths wander around all sort of medicines, diets, routines of exercise and drinks, and dozens more that only give us a temporary fix. 

But when we sit with a friend, or are quietly alone, we discover that the art on our walls, and the thoughts generated as we gaze at them, have a profound effect on our healing, each and every time we spend a moment with these pieces, and those moments of healing last longer and longer the more often we spend time with them. If you cannot recall the moments of exuberance or calm, when gazing at the art on your walls, perhaps its time you did.

Art has always held a very long lasting effect that tends to re-center ourselves in times of hope and joy, sadness and grief, energetic and thrilling times as we wander through our lives. I have been surrounding myself with art all of my life, having learned the value ion it, from a very early stage in life from my close and my extended families. And when I learned how to enhance the natural around me I found I don;t have enough room in my home for all I want to hang. 

So I found that filling a spare closet, or a bedroom, with treasured pieces allowed me to dismount one for another. But even if we don't have that luxury of space, and most of us don't, we can still replace ones that never were the art that healed us. And if we choose to find art which has that healing sense, to find it in places, like my site, instead of much more expensive websites, we can own more of the variety.

Which of the Following 10 Reasons are you adding Art to your Home or Office?

We all add art to our homes and office's. The question is, for what reasons are you adding art? Of the following 10 reasons, which are your top 2 or 3?

1. Personal Taste and Style

• Aesthetic Appeal: People often buy wall art that resonates with their personal style, preferences, and emotional response to the artwork. If a piece aligns with their tastes (colors, themes, artistic style), they are more likely to make a purchase.
• Emotional Connection: Some people feel a strong emotional connection to a piece of art. It may evoke a specific memory, mood, or sentiment that motivates the purchase.

2. Home Decor

• Complementing Existing Decor: Many buyers look for wall art that complements their existing interior design, whether it’s modern, traditional, minimalist, or eclectic.
• Color Coordination: Buyers may choose art that matches or enhances the color scheme of their rooms, such as neutral tones for a calming space or vibrant art to create a focal point.

3. Investment and Prestige

• Art as an Investment: Some people buy art as an investment, expecting that its value will appreciate over time. For these buyers, the artist's reputation and the rarity of the piece may be critical factors.
• Status Symbol: High-end art can be seen as a status symbol, and buyers may purchase certain pieces to enhance their social image or show cultural sophistication.

4. Connection to the Artist or Movement

• Admiration for the Artist: People sometimes buy art because they admire the artist or identify with their creative vision, social commentary, or the movement the artist represents.
• Support for Local or Emerging Artists: Some buyers want to support emerging or local artists, making purchases as a form of encouragement or to feel part of a particular artistic community.

5. Cultural and Personal Identity

• Cultural Expression: Art can be a way for people to express their cultural background or heritage, allowing them to display pieces that reflect their identity.
• Personal Themes: Some art buyers are drawn to pieces that reflect their personal experiences, hobbies, or values, such as landscapes that remind them of their hometown or abstract art that speaks to their worldview.

6. Gift-Giving

• Unique Gifts: Wall art is often purchased as a unique and personalized gift for others, especially for occasions like housewarmings, weddings, or anniversaries.

7. Trends and Social Influence

• Social Media Influence: Instagram, Pinterest, and other visual platforms can influence purchasing decisions by showcasing art in beautiful home settings or through popular influencers.
• Current Design Trends: People may also be inspired by popular design trends, such as minimalist art, boho-style decor, or abstract pieces, leading them to buy art that aligns with current tastes.

8. Customization and Personalization

• Commissioned Art: Some buyers want custom pieces that are tailored to their specific space, taste, or even personal story. The appeal of having a one-of-a-kind artwork is a strong motivator.

9. Availability and Affordability

• Price Range: Price plays a significant role in decision-making. Affordable art that looks good can appeal to people looking for budget-friendly decor, while high-priced pieces appeal to collectors or those who value exclusive work.
• Accessibility: The availability of art through online marketplaces, galleries, or local fairs can also influence purchases, as convenience can make it easier for people to find and buy the right piece.

10. Space Utilization

• Filling Empty Spaces: Some people buy art to fill empty walls or to balance the design of a room, making it feel complete or more visually interesting.

All these factors interact differently depending on the individual's needs and context, but they offer a broad view of what drives people to buy wall art.

Finding the Art you choose to live with

 When you moved out of your parent's home, you landed on an empty nest even after all of your furniture was in place. Why? You saw empty walls.

That was your first awareness that it's nearly impossible to live in a cave regardless the quality of furnishings and paint colors. So you set out to find art most likely at a reasonable price point. But where did you find these pieces? Too many of us selected cheaply printed photography or graphic hangings. At least we had art on the walls. After awhile we began thinking about our choices. It is this time, this entry to that awareness that we always truly wanted more than that. We wanted art for art's sake. Remember that phrase? It is true. But as true is we want art that we can choose to live with for extended periods of time. Art that speaks to us. Warms our hearts, engages flashes of memories, or excites our senses with the art. When we look at the art we've chosen, we should be able to see what we wish to, hear the splash of the waterfall, smell the rose, hear the wind through the canyons, and trees, and feel the warmth of sun on the rocks or our hair. Even touch the smooth flower petals, or the raspy bark of a Eucalyptus, pine, fir or cherry tree. 

We don't merely want a pic of an object, we want to smell it, feel it, and we want that to last. That means the photography art has to be special enough to be able to last for more than a month or so. We are choosing in essence a companion to our moods in our homes. So rather than heading back to an all-in-one-store, perhaps we begin the journey online looking at art that rewrites our gratification needs, some of which are heartfelt, some humorous, and some outrageously energizing.

Find the Red Maple on Fire in the Rain at my Photo Art Site

Just for the fun of it, I challenge you to locate a Maple tree on Fire in the Rain 

Awhile back I was out shooting when a brief, if somewhat heavy pattering of rain hit, and I had no choice other than to shoot this maple tree. Later as I looked it over using Affinity Photo software, I decided to dance it up a bit. So I spent the better part of 3 hours using several photo editing tools and layers trying my best to make this a standout image that some would end buying, and hanging on their wall. I have used it, and I have gifted it for birthdays and Christmas, as gifts. It's one of my favorites from a sense of impact and tranquilness. It simply works for me and I hope you enjoy the fun getting there.

Obviously I wont share a pic of it so it will be a fun escape from the norm just to see how long it takes to find it, and trust it's not that hard. If you will, add a comment and let me know 

Here's another that might take a little longer, a grimy face of a blue collar worker. The essence of an American work force member.

And just for another challenge, see if you can hang the following image to your wall, Grand Oak Tree

How to Add Your Photography to my Linked in Group. - UPDATED

 Add Your Photography to my LinkedIn Group: Photography Art Buyers

Photography Art Buyers

Post your best work, even if it's not your most recent. Showcase your talent, creativity, abilities, and yes—your panache.

This group, Photography Art Buyers, is an avenue for recognition, connection, and sales opportunities. Make it part of your promotional efforts; we're excited to have you here.

Don’t be shy. We all deserve our shot.

Finding Wall Art should be an Adventure

Here's to Your Wall Art Adventure

First things first; whatever you do, don't just wander about and hastily make a decision on the spot. Do your research. Know what impacts your decision, allow yourself a little time to really let the emotive part of the art search grab ahold of you, and only then make the leap. 

Just know you're doing it for the right reasons. That's the best advice I can offer. Getting caught up in the art you see at farmer's markets or at mall shops, or even big box locations, has wreaked havoc when later, art buyers are having second thoughts. I would suggest you spend some reasonable amount of time pursuing your choices. 

Do this for you and you'll not regret it. In saying this though, I'd like you to give me first crack at your shopping effort. My website for photography, includes works that range from gentle to impactful. The link Rich Collins Photography.

If You We're Buying Your Last Art Print....what would it be?

 Most of the art we buy, is hopefully from an artist we have discovered and love their work. Or perhaps one we've bought from before and still love their works. And we do so with some regularity, say once a year or so, or when we redecorate and gift our prior art to another we care about. But have you ever considered, just how important buying each piece really is? And what if it were your last one? Perhaps because of age, your financial position, or because we had no room left on our walls. What would be your last piece of art? 

Crimson Clover Fields

It's an uncommon question, but one which you will make one day, consciously or not. What would it be? Would you go back to your youth to re-generate an almost forgotten era? A childhood memory of sorts? Or a scene from a place your family once visited? Something of sentimental significance?  Perhaps a scene from a family picnic setting, a beach or mountain visit? A field of tulips?

Or a festival of Native Americans?

Native American Chief?

Or it might be a simple and emotionally valuable scene to calm you.

Mountain Moonlight 

Or excite you.

Whatever it is allow me to connect you to a place of discovery ..... please enjoy the adventure  my photographic website

Spending Your Money Carefully Counts

 Daily Spending Can Really Add up

Spending our money on daily needs counts, but spending on wants, desires, unnecessary and discretionary items and services is where where we must be most careful. It is astounding what companies have been charging us for these things. If you are young, this is becoming the norm. I ask that you don't let that happen to your phyche, because it should not be the norm. If you are well into your 30's and older you know better. so you are perhaps already schooled in being careful on spending to much for anything.I want to share with you my collection of art, photographic art that is hung on our walls. And I want you to see just how careful I have been in not following the lead of most of companies, and entrepreneurs that have been hell-bent on over-pricing.

You can cut to the chase by linking through to my Website for Photography, or read further.

Just three examples of images and pricing that has not undergone the rapid rise of unaffordable art for your walls. I've kept and will conmtinue to keep my prices within this low range of cost for those buying, upgrading, remodeling homes, and for those renting. We shouldn't shut out from what surrounds us in our homes and apartments, just because of the inflation caused by companies who don't have our best interests in mind.

Consciousness Coupled with Photography Art

 Ever considered how Art affects our Consciousness?

Sit down sometime, maybe now, eyes off your screen(s), awareness on your wall art, and feel the art change your mood. We are capable of launching our consciousness back from the brink of overstimulation and it should gift us with a pleasurable sense. Do not glance, but take it in. This is not meant to be family pictures, but art we have invested in. We chose it, we purchased it for a very special reason. And because we almost never consider viewing our art, de rigeur, we might consider it going forward.

Much has been written about time on our screens, little about the sense we absorb, ingest and assimilate as we commingle with our wall art. There ought to be a lifting of sorts, an uncommon ground with which we find solace, peace, or energy and spirit, with our art. The very reason the art was hung, is to bring to us a feeling that nothing else in our homes, or offices can, nor should. 

If you're feeling it, then you should find it more often. Screens are great for learning, and not so great for feeling it. There are too many distractions. Art is for our feeling, our emotion, our wondrous and most prized mindful regions. And when we focus on what we've hung, perhaps paid for, we find ourselves feeding on the reward levels of serotonin produced by such wonderful works.

If your art is doing it for you, you are one of us who have chosen the art which satisfies. 

However if your art is not doing it for you, then it is time, even if it is difficult, to abandon it, and find pieces that will improve the satisfaction for you. If it is time, don't rest on it, don't put it off, or you'll still be ignoring it years from now. But don't overspend on it. Budget Buy it if need be. That is, spend at a price level you feel is comfortable for your home and all who come to share your home with you. By the way, you won't find my works have gone up one cent since inflation has outpaced your incomes. I feel I have my photography at a fair price point. 

Below I offer a link to some of my works of photography. With this link I hope you find something, perhaps more than one, that can give you what art should give you.

Apparent Hub Fix for Apple OS 14.4 Update

Having problems with your devices, monitors, keyboards, mice, using a  hub after updating to Apple Sonoma 14.4?

Someone in the Apple Support Community has mentioned that this has helped him, though no one is sure if it will be a permanent fix, but give it a try;

I had the same issue with an LG monitor connected by USB3 -- the mouse plugged into the USB hub on the monitor didn't work after the 14.4 upgrade.

Rebooting, reconnecting wires, etc, didn't help.

However, this worked:

1. System Settings->Privacy&Security->Allow accessories to connect->Ask every time
2. Turn off monitor (at the wall is best) and disconnect it
3. Reboot
4. Reconnect the monitor then turn it on.

At this point I got a popup asking if I agreed to the assessory and I answered yes. Since then the mouse works fine. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Second Thoughts on Photography and Ai

 Should Photography shake hands with AI? 

Good question. A follow up question is, Will AI take the place of Creativity? I am in a place now that suggests, it depends. If one approaches photography, as a creative, that is a creative aspect of their use of a camera, in the development of their creating images, then I don't believe so. However if one is merely flooding the internet with pop up imagery, then yes only because there will be so much of the same it won't really affect creativity.

Take a look at how the very earliest photographic images were taken; images were captured more by experimental means of whatever a lens could imprint and expose simply what was there. No conscious effort was made by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in capturing this photo. It exists today exactly as it was taken and was never changed in any creative way. He didn't make any adjustments to it. 

The earliest saved photographic image (Heliograph on pewter plate) from 1826 or 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, taken at Le Gras, France. Credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nic%C3%A9phore_Ni%C3%A9pce#/media/File:Ni%C3%A9pce_Heliograph_1827_Le_Gras.jpg

Thus it has zero creativity and exists only because of a chemical reaction he helped develop.

Fast forward to today, and because of photographic software editing tools, which Photoshop and Affinity offer, these have allowed us to become as creative as we choose to learn to do.

An example from my portfolio Mossy Forest Grove 

So from the capture by Niepce', an example of a paradigm of mere exposure to the softwares available, in addition to our own ability to mindfully imagine a result, and then to tweak to our liking, we have then already allowed a form of artificial adjustments, coupled with our own creative talents. Call it intelligence if you will. This then means that by the definition given to AI by this example, "Psychologists generally characterize human intelligence not by just one trait but by the combination of many diverse abilities. Research in AI has focused chiefly on the following components of intelligence: learning, reasoning, problem solving, perception, and using language", then through the use of these intelligent functions, we have already been, in a sense, using AI since the photo editing software was offered to us. 

As a photographer, whose means of income derives from my creative abilities, like many of us, I have been using artificial intelligence since before the craze was launched in the news and on social media, and the labs of universities and corporations. 

Initially I was proud, falsely, that I didn't want to use AI in my photography. As time has gone by I have accepted now that it is but another tool I use along with my own creative reasoning and creative talent, toward achieving my end goal; creating an image that is not just a carbon copy of what exists, but as close to what I dreamed of, and enhanced, placing for sale on my website. Where as before I thought it would cause my creativity to lose its edge, I now think of it as a less time-consuming task, from many hours or over days, to far less time. Since photo editing use of AI is still in its infancy, I await the ability to save me time in getting the images up for view and for sale. And if we, as artists, think about it, the darkroom, and now the digital DLSR, camera body and its embedded software, was perhaps the beginning of AI for artists. It allowed us to tinker with what existed just beyond the tip of our lenses.
