How to create creativity

Years ago I was a vivid photographer shooting film with my dads camera. The results were often horrible but sometimes I had some really good shots. Did those not so good looking pictures bother me? No! Why? Because every picture I took was in one way or another unique. Memories and expression of a very specific moment in my life. So with me bothering less I discovered a feel good feeling. My pictures became better from a pure technical point of view but my attitude hasn’t changed so far. Pictures can be holiday pictures, sport pictures, pictures from your friends birthday party or pictures you take in a supermarket, your home, your car.

Everywhere! So I started taking pictures with my camera. No I haven’t bought a digitial SLR yet but that’s not necessary. Simply because I do have a camera always with me.

Just take a picture of about anything and publish it. Share this with your friends on twitter, facebook, bebo, myspace and whatever pages are out there as well.

It’s not all about the location, it’s about the moment. Wouldn’t it be nice just to see what’s in front of your house, flat or even in your flat? Wouldn’t it be nice to share this to people out there? Just to be creative and take pictures because it’s fun and living on planet earth is a privilege that we take for granted? Just to go out and take pictures of whatever we like?

There are no wrong or right pictures and whatever we shoot shouldn’t we be happy about those memories / moments? You have probably seen a few pictures I took 3 minutes ago showing my book / DVD shelf and the view out of my living room window as well as the view on my garden. Come on people let’s share pictures. Send me links to your blogs and have fun!

And most importantly! Be creative!
