What inspires you as a photographer or artist? Have you stopped to consider all the things that influence your work? Artists are constantly inspired by the music they listen to, the people they encounter and even the places they visit or have yet to visit.
Where else might our creativity stem from? What does it mean to you and your work? Take a moment to think of all the things you have encountered over the years that makes you tick. As an ode to creativity today, I will share a few of my inspirations with you. Maybe something I share with you today will end up being a staple of inspiration for yourself. I welcome everyone to share your favorite inspirations too!
