Inspiration is EVERYwhere!
Inspiration – if you google inspiration you will find 90,000,000 results. That’s surprising to me….not that there are that many, but that there are that few! I seem to find inspiration everywhere. It seems I find 90,000,000 things that inspire me at least monthly…probably why my mind races 90 miles per hour constantly.
Inspiration refers to an unconscious burst of creativity in a literary, musical, or other artistic endeavor according to Wikipedia. So what bursts your creativity? Is it a word? A picture? A song? Is it the image of sunlight piercing through the clouds at sunset? Is it the shared moment with a new love? Or the infectious laughter of a toddler discovering bubbles for the first time?
I have tons of bookmarks in Firefox (some of which I just transferred to Bloglines – if you don’t use it yet – you should check it out – I just did and it is awesome!). Most of my bookmarks are for sites that inspire me – spiritually, cognitively, artistically or otherwise. Inspiration is what makes me feel alive! One thing that always inspires me is a great picture. My dad was an awesome photographer! Wish I had learned all he had to teach about photography (and investments) before he died. His photographs inspire me to be a great photographer – nice to have lofty goals, huh?
The web is full of inspiring images for those seeking inspiration. One site I really enjoy visiting for photographic inspiration is Shutter Sisters. They have numerous sections to their site including their One Word Project which is a community project with a monthly unique word to inspire photographers. Last month’s word was Everyday….check out their posts for some awesome everyday pictures. Here’s my interpretation of their inspiring word…everyday….
