The concept of creativity is that it is
a point of view, an approach towards the
mundane that transforms
every blade of grass into a
wonder of life.
Life Positive Magazine Author Unknown In my view, creativity allows one to
become whole and to share one’s soul though self-expression of inner life with
the outside world. It is self-affirmation in the theater of life.
Creativity: Outside In

Nature in Photos: a window into soul“Imagery and visual expressions reflect the
uniqueness of an individual's life. V. John Steiner
Nature is my source of inspiration: emotional courage,
acceptance of contrast, comfort, faith in things working out and hope in the future. In nature,
I am in touch with my deeper feelings.
Taking photos makes things stop and stand still: it captures my sensations and provides visual memories of thoughts and feelings of each creatively
fulfilling moment. It merges my inner and outer worlds. Each visual image is a glimpse into my heart and soul,
the essence of my being.

Metaphor of Communion: the union of selfThe shaping of a creative life is not an a priori gift but
a process of self-construction. Howard E. Gruber
Being still long enough to slow my heart, I feel deep wonder, beauty
and peace within nature. I hear the morning’s silence and
feel it embrace me.
It is my moment to be in communion with nature's serenity
and become one with myself. I welcome the sensations that seep
into my heart and fills me with the splendor of life.
The photo allows me to visualize my thoughts and inner perceptions, to juxtapose my ideas and feelings in a concrete image outside myself and to
blend my public and private worlds.

Systems: the simplicity of soul
Creativity is not the product ofsingle individuals, but of social
systems making judgmentsabout individuals’ products.
Robert Sternberg
When I place my eyes intimately on the fungi, I lavish in the brilliance of intricately woven patterns, smooth contours and soft colorings. I feel
its texture and as its essence registers its structure and order
within me, I immerse myself in its self-organizing evolving creative
system so strongly and meaningfully interconnected . It is a visually
moving feast that I ravish.

Creativity: the glisten of individual
Creative abilities determine whether one can exhibit creative behavior to a noteworthy degree.
J.P. Guilford
Although creativity is a product of combinatorial factors, the individual sparks the equation with key traits and characteristics, necessary elements but
certainly not sufficient variables on their own. The structure of the intellect clearly has
bearing on individual performance.

When we first begin to believe anything, what we believe is not a single proposition, it is a whole
systems of propositions. Wittgenstein
And so it is with creating an exhibit. What we create is not a single exhibit,
it is a whole system of exhibits.

Belief: the reality

Milieu: the place of individual
Creativity does not occur in A vacuum. The environment is always present and can have
a profound effect on creative expression.
Everybody here is a cloud… Cloud Culture
Creativity is a process that can be observed only at the
intersection where individuals,domains and field interact.
Robert Sternberg

Clouds give me a sense of free float, the ever lightness of being. I imagine resting on my elbows watching other clouds float away, while I just am. The wind may push me along and brush my hair with a gentleness, but the feeling remains one of wholeness and pure bliss.
My colors can reflect my storming emotions of anger, sadness and disillusionment with the injustices in the world or mirror my buoyancy, joy and delight in the goodness of people.
While my public persona appears driven, purposefully defined, goal oriented, and resolutely serious, my inner sensations are light, carefree and soulful. I often visualize myself naked jumping up and down on my cloud while singing lively songs.

A Metaphor in Processa blue heron

Stage 1
Preparation>>>Research: Collect
information or data.
Searched through over 6 thousand of photos; and
reviewed over 60 websites for ideas on how to
develop and organize a photo narrative that
would allow me to share my inner self.
![Page 24: Reason Cannot Know_ spg](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b6118a4a7959fb188b45a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stage 2
Incubation>>>Percolation: Milling over collected information.
Sorted and discarded many photos, at least virtually,
looking for those that stirred feelings and generated
memories. Fantasized with my eyes to nature for
inspiration and experimented with various techniques to
find combinations or force fit.Flying is good for incubation
![Page 25: Reason Cannot Know_ spg](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54b6118a4a7959fb188b45a0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Stage 3
Illumination>>>Light Bulb Idea: Aha
moment.
Spend too much time thinking too much about
thinking and to muffle the talk from that inner critic that just won’t be quiet. It evolved as it took form
and continues to change. In flight, the fantasy
became reality

Stage 4
Implementation>>>Actual Making, Creating:
Verification.
Project is a work in progress as it will remain for a
longer while; everything can always be improved .

A creative life involves great swathes of attention.
Attention is a way to connect and survive.
Julia Cameron
Thank you all for sharing learning and for encouraging
me to creatively find my place.
