I’ve often found myself in a creative rut. For multiple different reasons, sometimes its lack of compelling content, sometimes its for lack of energy and sometimes its because I have to much on my mind to think of anything creative

If there was one place that I also seem to turn to for inspiration and to learn is National Geographic. I am a current subscriber of the magazine and a frequent viewer of the their website. While I was knee high to a grasshopper I used to spend hours reading my parents stack of Nat. Geo. in the basement, not reading the articles but admiring the images. Diving into the life that they captured, the stories and the emotion. Lately I have often found myself turning there once again, but this time it is with a different eye. An eye that sees these things in a bigger picture and imagines what the photographer thought through to simplify and capture the image he/she did.

National Geographic will always be a goldie oldie in my mind.
