because I'm an artist.

Sometimes we have low points in our "job" in life. Or our chosen career. But that doesn't mean we give up. Inspiration is everywhere around us and sometimes we just need to zoom out from what we're doing, take a step back and let the world inspire us all anew. Adapting a little of JLaw's frankness wouldn't hurt either: http://31.media.tumblr.com/6b2cab7cf54a36edebc1a56264972664/tumblr_miql99uJzU1qck5fxo3_250.gif

For me lately, it's been music (lyric breakdowns and getting wrapped up into fantastical worlds that I've long been away from) but also one of the classes I'm taking is forcing all of us out of what we know to be photography and to look at it in all of it's past forms. We've moved on from pinhole photography and into scanography as of late, and it's so different. We aren't looking through a lens, but instead discovering new things that are normally right under our noses, and distorting them into something altogether new, which is thrilling.

That and I went to an artist talk last night by the global designer for Calvin Kline's denim, and that really opened my eyes as well. I've been so bogged down by trying to be better that I've overlooked my creative process on how to even make my own art. He broke down his pipeline for all of us and it was definitely a "why haven't I been doing this this semester????" kind of moment. If I'm not doing art for myself, I'm not doing it right.

Needless to say, I feel recharged creatively. Now to find a way to work in the time to utilize it all!
This isn't the first time I've wished that I had a time turner or some way to suspend time so I can accomplish all that I want to (including getting enough sleep > >  )
