Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid, wrote a good piece on how to be creative a while ago.

About me
I am an artist lost in a geek world.
Now the artist is on a path of learning, improving and self-discovery.
My goal is to tell millions of words worth of stories, a thousand words at a time.
If you're interested in joining me on this journey, even if it's just for a single portrait - contact me and let's talk....

Fledgeling Photographer: Creativity
Posted by Dominic Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:31:00 GMT
This entry might be mislabeled, but that’s entirely on purpose. :)
In his blog, David Zizer talks about forcing you to think creatively. And doing this by picking a single lens, forcing you to find new and creative ways to (ab)use that glass.
This is essentially what I did in my 8mm Project, where I forced myself to shoot with an 8mm fisheye for a week.
And boy was it fun! A bit slow to start in the beginning, but after a while I was loving shooting with that thing.
Now, of course, I want to buy one. I’m thinking of going all Bert Stephani though, and getting a Peleng. (Read: Cheap, quirky and Russian. :)
I’m not sure what my next “project” would be - whether accidental or on purpose. I have a few ideas for shoots I want to take, but I have to spend some quality time scouting locations. (It’s tough when you don’t have a crew to do the work for you, like Chase…. :)
