Untitled Post (I couldn't think of a name for it)

I believe that all humans are creative inherently. Deep down in the bowels of our minds there rest a need to be creative in one form or another. Through out my life I have found different methods of being creative, to harness this creative spirit within myself. First it was drawing which then proceeded to writing and poetry. From poetry I left it and continued to work more on writing, to define a style in having no style at all, as I was told by a friend who read many of my works. From writing I began a path in music. First the trumpet and then piano and clarinet, percussion and the likes. After starting high school I took of guitar and abandoned the rest. Mid-way through high school I took up digital art and kept with my music and writing. I stayed in digital art for a good five years. And from there I stepped into photography with the suggestion of my girlfriend and I enjoy it thoroughly. It has allowed me more control of something that in the past and I like that it allows my creativity to flow smoothly.

Another thing that I enjoy the most in photography is the printing. There is nothing like looking at a print in white light after you have followed you own printing techniques. It’s amazing to say the least. Granted I don’t place the paper emulsion side up in the tray I do it emulsion side down. I could go into explanation as to why I do this if you want but maybe at another time. I’m rereading the Sword of Truth saga by Terry Goodkind again, I always enjoyed the novels and I recommend them to anyone that would like to read a good fantasy series. Tomorrow I have an interview and even though I am rather hesitant about being a server at a restaurant if it pays good then it does. I will have to remember not to be myself.

I digress though. Back to subject. As I see it every person creates out of need and survival, what allowed us to adapt so many millennia ago is still very much with us now. I see it as a rather subconscious form in many people. It may not be for artistic cause but nevertheless it is there. Our own love for creativity is almost tantamount to that of a fanatic’s justification in killing in their god’s name. We need it like we need food. If a child has nothing else but a dilapidated house over its head, it will find something to do, it will create something to fill its mind with wonder. So get out there and create.
