Being in the creative field that I’m in, I’m constantly brainstorming new ideas for films, products, and business ventures. A lot of times I feel as though I have just too many great ideas, as I’m sure we have all felt once or twice before. But there are other times where I feel as though there is not one useful thought running through my head. In my eyes its all about inspiration that turns into motivation for action. Inspiration can come from so many places. A lot of the time I find myself looking at people’s work I admire online, be it a photo, film, or written article. But what I find is that this never leads to me doing anything productive. I gain tips, insight, and certainly feel a bit of motivation to get out and do something like that myself, but more times than not I’m left feeling like I have to do work now or should go out and shoot. It never really comes from inside me. I just returned from a great run around town during sunset on an unseasonably warm day, and I cannot begin to tell you the ideas that came through my mind. I believe its the things around us that truly get us inspired. All those things you pick up while browsing content online are still in your head, except this time they resurface as your own. Get out and live in the world around you, and let that environment be your source of inspiration.
