Simple Inspiration

people often ask me what inspires me and keeps me living a creative life. it\’s finding beauty in the simple, everyday things i pass that others might even deem ugly, like a rundown building near a freeway entrance or an illuminated sign. i see everything around me as a source of energy. and being able to capture those things in photographs, crop them and make them into pieces of art…or use them as the stimulus for a works of another medium…that is the icing on the cake. and i thank the universe everyday that i can see the world in this way. it makes for a good life.
