The snow is all gone and it’s strangely warm for January. And over the holidays I’ve started to consume vasts amounts of media, in the form of music, movies and video games. Part of me wants to write and review ever last bit of it and the other part of me is trying to figure out how to convert this creative onslaught into my own work. It’s definitely inspirational how creative we are as humans and it always sends my head spinning in different directions. The problem is that I find myself impeded by my own equipment, but I know that’s simply my mind working against me, becasue a true artist should be able to create great images regardless of what camera he is shooting with.
Every night, my mind fills with ideas and concepts, which make it difficult for me to settle into bed, until I reach the point of exhaustion in the wee hours of the morning. I lay in bed, thinking of amazing series which I should shoot, yet when I wake in the morning, or lately, midday I do nothing to act upon these seeds of inspiration.
Perhaps, I should write these ideas down, to get them out of my head and to give them physical on paper or digitally as 1 and 0 on my computer.
Where do you find inspiration? And what do you do about it when inspiration hits?
