how to be creative:

ignore everybody
don’t try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether
if you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter
nobody cares. do it for yourself
do not distress yourself with dark imaginings; many fears are
born of fatigue and loneliness
accept the pain, it cannot hurt you
beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself
remember what peace there may be in silence

    "I received a contact request, looked at Shirin K. A. Winiger's photostream, I immediately accepted!!!! (and went to look at more)
    It's photographers like Shirin K. A. Winiger, that makes me comfortable knowing that there is still hope for the future of photography and creating thought provoking images.
    Well done, and welcome to the WORLD of IMAGES, flickr.com.
    :-)"

    Emily Raw says:

    "Shirin's images constantly startle me into new realizations of what photography can do & be. Sensual but relentless, dark but joyful, graphically pared down but conceptually complex, these are important pictures from an important artist. Watching her emerge on this forum is both a privilege & a delight.
    If she weren't so darn cool I'd hate her."

    "its not often you come across a photostream that makes you rethink what is art and what is photography but Shirin is one of those people."
