Technician vs Creator

Some days you find yourself playing with technology all day, you work hard. The sun sets. Suddenly you realize that you have not created anything. I LOVE technology, I love playing with it, forcing it to do my bidding and sometimes it takes a lot of creativity to solve technological problems. Be it with a audio workstation or how to create a certain sound or even keeping the computer running smoothly.

Don’t get stuck in the loop too long. My favorite analogy is a photography club. Have you ever been to one? Most of the time you will hear “this lens is better than this lens  or “X camera sucks you must get Y camera” but then you ask, “Can I see some of your work?” and you will always get “Oh, I don’t really have much time to actually take photos” Don’t be this person. Don’t get hung up on the technical details. Keep creating, even if it is ten minutes a day.
