I'd rather play than work

I like the shot above, but the only reason I've been playing with it in photoshop & posting & tagging it, etc is I don't want to actually work on stuff I have to do. I need to write an email to all my friends about a show in which nine of my pictures appear . It's opening Thursday, May 14th at Judson Church in Manhattan. The show is called 'New' New Yorkers. The info is here.

I do this every time there's a piece of business to do. Call it creative procrastination. I just keep playing. Anything to avoid what one friend of mine calls the "factory work" of advancing one's own cause. This can go on for weeks, months.

OK, there. I've told on myself. I'll do it tomorrow morning for sure...

I like this piece, shows a nice level of creativity by the author rather than just a document another person/s creativity.

BTW I would never consider play as procrastination. Play is where it is at, but if you need to procrastinate to play go for it.

I feel the same way about captioning photos...
