The Creative Mind

I've been searching the web on the subject of creativity.  Art, being the ultimate expression of this brain process, comes in by default.  Being able to express one's own charisma and personality through creative affairs is my ultimate quest, my own personal discovery.

I follow the blog of a talented designer.  His name is Nick Campbell.  He's also greyscalegorilla. 

He posted an entry today that reads like this:

"My advise to students has always been to take more design and type classes, and learn the technical stuff later."

I guess what he means by this is that in order to become a better artist we must concentrate on the creative part first and deal with the technicalities later. Those will fall into place once we know exactly what is it we want to accomplish.  As an aspiring photographer, I need to constantly remind myself this.  I sometimes feel that I am so behind in my goal, that I get anxious and focus too much on the technical aspect of the photo and forget about the composition.

In the meantime I just keep taking pictures, reading as much as I can, and taking more pictures.  You can check out my photo blog to view my favorite ones ( Think!Photography).
