What Does It Mean To Be Creative?
My son, Adam, passed along a cool website that he really likes, called Accidental Creative. He sent me a link to the “Manifesto” page that I thought was really well thought out. I think it is something that all photographers can gain from, too. Check it out:

The photo here, for example, is of the common yucca that blooms throughout the chaparral in Southern California. This is not the usual shot of it, yet it is definitely true to who I am. This was shot at sunset. Normally shooting against a sunset would simply give you a silhouette. In this case, I used my flash to fill in the yucca flowering stalk so that it would stand dramatically light against the sunset. Like much of my work, it also shows the yucca in context with a setting (the silhouetted hills).
