Sometimes creativity doesn’t come easy for me. I have to work for it because it certainly won’t pop out of nowhere if I’m sitting around doing nothing. I use a few different techniques to start up my creative juices:
Browsing art galleries
One of my favorites is the art gallery inside of upper playground that changes every few weeks
Looking at blogs
One of my favorites is Booooooom.com because it has such a large archive of art, projects, design, film, music and more. It's a hotbed of creativity and I love to immurse myself in it.
Taking photos
One of my favorites photos I've taken was on the shoreline at a luau in Oahu, Hawaii. It was such a simple picture, but the combination of the bright yellow in the plumeria and the soft neutral colors in the table and the ocean makes for an ethereal picture, reminding me that beauty is all around us.
Reading
One of my favorite books is Be Here Now by Ram Dass. This book has changed my life and I haven't even finished it yet. This isn't any old book where you read it cover to cover, acknowledge the lessons from the story, and put it on the shelf to probably never be read again. This book takes time, understanding, and the process of looking inward towards our true selves.
