So what is Creativity? Is it the act of turning ideas into reality? Or is it the simple act of just being imaginative? In some ways I think that being creative is what we all are striving to be. If it's through art, invention, business or love we all want to have a unique perspective and to be able to share that with others.
Personally, I like to think of creativity as having a passion and commitment to follow through on an idea - and using that to turn ideas into a reality.
How many of us have been trying to sleep, mind racing with thoughts, and a great idea comes into our heads? It happens to me all the time. How often do I write them down? Hardly ever. In my head I have written numerous, and I might add brilliant, movie scripts, great ideas for posts to this blog and unique ways to reach art directors. I always say "Oh, I'll remember that..." The next morning I rarely do.
So this weekend I am gong to take photos inspired from a past photo shoot I did of a white chair - see images below. I thought about it, came up with an idea, wrote it down and now I am going to make it a reality.
So tune in to see what I come up with - I will probably, hopefully, surprise myself.

great chair....
yeah, my life lacks in creativity right now..... or is full of it since i'm "punting" about being a parent at this old age and have to come up with anything and everything that may work in raising a child in nyc... a wondrous/entertaining/over-the-top place and a too-hectic/capitalistic/ego-centric place at the same time..., but we hope to go through this maze and come out ok...
creativity, passion, free clear mind....constantly wishing for those and yet they seem to elude me except in words. your point about waking up the next morning and not doing anything about the previous night's great idea - wow, only if i could remember all those great ideas i might be leading a very different life!
still.... i'm pleased with where i am in life, finally feel grounded and mentally balanced, doesn't mean i have no frustrations and stresses, but i'm in a good place. hopefully nurturing ryan will allow me to nurture my creative side as i dive into art projects with him. watching pure innocence (ryan) discover new things and that elation on his face - total bliss. good to know i'm a part of it.... that, too, is total bliss.
