  It tooks me a while sum up my thought about art, hope somebody takes time to read it.
  There are the moments in our surroundings things harmonize each other and create the perfect composition. It happens in just right amount of the color, the tone and the light. We artists constantly seek this mystical moment, learn from them, recapture them and use them to reflect our vision. The way we see them, define by each of our personality, the feelings, and the passion.
  How we use them depending on our creativity. If we capture nothing beyond the contour our work of art is halfway done. (Some of us leave the imagination to the viewers.) To paint the emotion, the feelings and ourselves we create the work of art beyond what we see through our eyes. We paint what we see in our heart. We feel passion when we meet the perfect scene because we see ourselves in it. We love what we see because we see more than we see through our eyes.
  This is why the viewer also feels the passion when they see the work of art.
  Each work of art we produce the more powerful, vocal and deep than the last one it becomes.
  I don’t know about other artist but I believe what I paint and the ideas are coming from the surrounding materials I have seen since I was born consciously or unconsciously.
  However, the artists can achieve the creativity with enough learning and experiencing.
  I mean the work of art can be created without copying from existing objects. In other words the work of art doesn’t need to make sense as long as it satisfies the artist who creates them. Ultimately they do make sense in the art world.
  When we create work of art of our dream we find, complete satisfaction, content, and the freedom. To us the work of art and the meaning of lives are beyond society standard.
  We have our own value we live in.
  This is the moment I find the reason why I have been painting all my life.

  I’ve never used it but if you look through the themes you’ll find one specifically aimed at “photoblogging”.

  The theme named Monochrome is probably the best for drawing the attention to the work itself. Check out mine at http://3ark.wordpress.com to see if you like it. It looks rather appealing in a minimalist sort of way. It is not without disadvantages however. You cannot add more pages, widgets or even links at the bottom.

  There is also a very long thread in the Off Topic forum on photography and art blogs, so you can look through there and get some ideas.
