Creativity. What is it? Most people will say that “artists” are creative. But one could argue that entrepreneurs and business people, in general, are creative in their own realm, that being in a business sense. I guess I tend to fall into the latter category. Because I have very few pure "artistic" skills, I have enormous admiration for artistic people such as painters, illustrators, writers, architects, sculptors, designers, etc. In fact, I often find a bond with creative and artistic people even though I can barely draw a stick figure and the last time I drew a cat someone remarked “what a cute giraffe”.


Not only a hobby, photography for me has always been my artistic and creative outlet. I like to think I have a good eye for angles and lighting and always trying to improve the quality and complexity of my photos. I love minimalism, B/W, photos which make you think or inspire, but for some reason most of my pix end up just colorful snapshots. Go fugure. Flickr is not only a fun site to post photos but more so, I draw a lot of inspiration and new ideas from many of the creative members here. I have met some really nice people through Flickr and the comments both positive and full of constructive criticism are much appreciated.
