Technician vs Creator

See this content in the original post

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.

Here is a GREAT video on the subject of staying in the creative mindset in the the midst of technology.
