You have to start somewhere…

I have been lacking motivation in the creative department lately, and if there is one thing I know the hardest part is often times starting. Creative ideas will come if you start doing creative things. They don’t have to be perfect. They don’t all have to be innovative. New to you is a good start. Hell old familiar creative endeavors maybe your way to start.

I had a friend once that always watched Blazing Saddles when he needed to get his creative juices flowing. It had nothing to do with what he was creating, it was just a sure fire way for him to get inspiration.

So I plan to create something daily for a bit. Maybe new photos, maybe new edits on old favorites. The goal is to rebuild habits I’ve put down, like taking my camera everywhere for starters.

Here is my first creative endeavor of the project, an edit of a photo of my parents from 2014. A couple factors kept me from using it back then, but I’ve learned a lot since then, one of the biggest… How to crop.
