First up is a personal one, on a recent mini vacay, I witnessed my host diving to the bottom of the lake to collect large stones to place within his garden. I watched him for a half an hour diligently diving and bringing up these stones, each one very unique. Within those thirty minutes he managed to collect dozens of stones, I happened to capture a pretty cool image. His thought to repurpose put me in such a good mood, hence the warm glows of the image and the name as a result... "Bill's Rocks."

The second example, is a simple one. I have an image of wood in many forms, I enhanced the grain and added more texture. The name for this one.... "Wood Grain."

The third example, is a literal one, a personal fear of mine. That is the fear of spiders, however, I am not fearful enough not to capture it's image. This guy was pretty large and made a home in my front bushes. He is about 3 inches long and the yellow and black colors beckoned me to take the picture! This one is appropriately titled "Arachnophobia."

My last example is an abstract, the name does not reflect at all the subject of the image. In this case, Marina Towers in Chicago, Illinois. I was in a great mood while working on the image and even more thrilled with the end result. When I looked at the picture though, it reminded me of a staple in our country.... corn. The buildings looked like to giant stalks of cob corn and I couldn't help but name this one "Corn on the Cob."

So always remember your mood and the first thing that comes to your head when you are thinking of a way to creatively come up with names for your work. The names that you will create will always be distinct and add a little something extra to the piece.
