“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”
- George Bernard Shaw
I will strongly agree with Theodore Levitt's words- “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.”
I took photography seriously in Jan'07 when my mom gifted my the first digital camera, a Cannon S3 IS (Proud to be a Canonite ;)). I have been playing with it now and then, very often since then. It feels proud to be possessor of this cam-model (which is now almost outdated, since there have been new Canon cam-models). I must agree that in the midst of the ride on life's roller coaster, I don't do justice to my creativity. Work, at times in office sucks, home and household works pisses me and at times my illness make me irky. People around me eat my soft matter of cranium almost all time,- Boss at office is a scary-ghost on some days while better half gets transformed to bitter half on other days. But what has been always given a smile to my flowery face (well I love self-praise) are the snaps I get to see, after I press that steel button in the right corner of my three-years old flashing machine.
Now I have found out my secret power and desire and I am somewhere happy from inside. I have realized that creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
In Oscar Wilde's word "The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates". I guess my critical spirit is too powerful to make my forget my desires, my passion, my creativity...!
