The World of Creativity



I believe we're all inherently creative. Some of us are creative in publically acclaimed areas. Others are creative in quiet ways that rarely receive attention. How do you muster up creative juices? Sometimes it's by simply taking another route, trying something new, getting out of your comfort zone. For me, I try to describe the mundane in an unusual fashion. Use new verbs. Try new adjectives. Look at the object and throw new words at it. In photography, I try to approach the subject from an unusual angle, often rendering it in an abstract fashion. In music, I try to break the barriers of musical styles. What is music anyway, but a symphony of sounds that render themselves pleasant to the ears?
