I was sitting at my local coffee shop that I often frequent and caught myself listening to a conversation to the right of me. Who isn’t guilty of such things? The couple was talking about the latest and greatest camera, and if they only had it. The continued to talk about all the awesome pictures they could take, and how they would be recognized as great photographers if they only had the best camera. It was quite a euphoric feeling for the both of them.Wishing, hoping, dreaming… that they could… if only… I began to laugh on the inside knowing that even if… Even if they had the the best cameras in the world it wouldn’t change the fact that cameras don’t make you creative. Sure, all your tools foster creativity , but they do not create it! Let me say that again, “they do not create it!” Creativity is whats inside you, that no one else can create. Creativity is doing something that no one else has done. Creativity is you! If we can all can take a lesson in creativity it would be this ; You aren’t creative because you watched the latest and greatest YouTube video, nor is it a new piece of equipment, it’s the thing thats inside you that is screaming to come out. That’s creativity. Creativity is only harnessed,held back by our inability to let it out, not by a camera. Our lack of creativity shouldn’t be blamed upon what we don’t have, yet upon our ability to set it free.
