A Feeling Only Creators Know

I tried to explain it to John.

We sat on the front step of my house and I gushed about the engagement session from which I’d just returned.  Mid-shoot, while they were changing, I sent him a text, “You’re going to die when you see what we’re creating!”

There’s a feeling you get after you’ve created something.  Whether you’re a musician or a photographer, you know this feeling.  Though, it’s hard to describe to those who aren’t creators.  It’s a mix of accomplishment and encouragement, yet a calming feeling of reassurance that you’re doing something worthwhile.

It’s kind of euphoric.

You feel enlightened.  Happy.  Excited.  Overwhelmed.

A l i v e.

Perhaps you know what I’m talking about.  Perhaps only those creatives will understand.  Either way, I am thankful for the way I’m wired. And I don’t care who gets it…

Last week, I took my photography to a new level. I used still photographs, 670 of them to be exact, in a way they’ve never been used before.  

Enjoy. :-)
