An interesting discussion is whether creativity is a born talent, or a skill we can learn. Personally I believe we can learn to be creative, but just like intelligence, you have to be “gifted”. Richard Bernabe wrote a free e-book called Creative Photography “Ten Easy Pieces”. Ten “easy pieces” to get creative. These ten tips are

My hometown is surrounded by heath and forest, which is lovely if you go for a run or walk. Part of the heath (called “Hoorneboegse Heide”) is marked by little hills of one meter high. These hills are not natural, but 4000 year old graves! It is very fascinating knowing you walk on ground that has a story older than

My cousin Jay Bordeaux is one of the most creative people I know, both creating furniture and music. A little while ago he made some coat hangers out of light bulbs and gave a pair to my girlfriend.
