I really admired the man. It seems that he don't get tired. He works a lot. But as they have said hard work bring good life.

I agree that creativity isn't bound to tools.

but I do think that the right tools can enable creativity. a few months ago, if you would have asked my friends whether I was a creative person they would have responded with laughter. though I considered myself to be creative, I was more of a consumer than a producer.

that all changed the moment I got my iPhone. all of a sudden I had this tool that made it easy for me to take pictures, process them and share them with others. I wasn't bothered by the crappy cam and the slow shutter speed at all. in fact I love the limitations because suddenly it's no more about megapixels, but about the story behind the shot.

in my case my iphoneography work also introduced me to a lot of cool & creative heads (like valerie) from all over the world.

at the end I think the key is whether you can translate your vision into something, that enables others to take part in the story you want to tell.

I have had rumblings in my mind over how to achieve such creativeness. The best way for me to do this personally and have started doing so is to do the photo walks, driving around, etc without the actual use of a camera. So in other words Picture the Picture, you may think yes, this is what we all do as photogs but doing it without carrying the camera at times keeps 'the mind working'. Apart from trying to follow the latest and greatest, I think we get so bogged down by looking through the viewer, we loose what the big picture is all about. May seem odd in words but in mind it works out.... :p

I agree; I have been on that 'I need this tool before I can do that' ride myself.. but in the end it all comes down to the photographer, not the equipment and I'm glad I realized that!
Wrote a blog post about all that a while ago, too. It's good that it's out there, that more and more people are sharing this opinion. I know it helped me; it will surely help others!

Thanks. I agree - rock & roll will never die, especially the live kind. There's just something primal about it.

Thank you Benoy. Darjeeling is a beautiful place that I hope to return to soon. You might also like this earlier post of the Dali Monastery. http://www.craigfergusonimages.com/2009/08/dali...

That sure does look like a lot of fun. The pictures you took really caught the mood and the vibe of that place. This goes to show that rock&roll will never die. I also found Jack Conqeroo on youtube and he's quite something. He seems to live for this kind of music.

SD, group cost is per group, not per person. As an example, 5 people in a group for one hour would be $500 each.

Hmmm - I guess I'm not reading this correctly, but why is the one-on-one cheaper than the group session? I would have expected it to be the other way round.

Let us know how you find it. I'll be doing it again at some point because it's a great exercise but probably not too often.

Great exercise, Craig. I'm going to try this over the weekend. I'm interested to see my results. I haven't shot film since my newspaper days. I wouldn't want to go back to that, but it might be fun to play with. All my film bodies are still in Canada.

Sometimes I think it’s fun to look at things which I take for granted from others’ photos or words. Have different depictions and ways to look at them. Ha, now I’m hungry!!

Thanks MJ. The chicken parts sure were smelly, especially as I was there mid-morning on a summer day.

that's quite a rounded selection Craig. the chicken parts are interesting!

I've never been of the school of thought that film has some kind of soul that digital lacks. To me, there's no real difference between a carefully exposed shot on film or on digital - honestly if you put two prints in front of me I probably couldn't tell the difference between which was film and which digital.

Re: Back To Basics – An Exercise in Simplicity and Gaffers Tape

Ilan — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:22:25 -0000

That's an interesting idea, and you hit the right spot for me - I also 'play' with the idea to go "film", only in my case, I won't settle for black ribbon, I want the real deal :)
Digital frames just lack that... soul?... film results got.

Very beautiful: I am surprised to see all this creativity and my guess is that such an event could also directed as a boat donation charity event. This creativity could help a lot of people that are in need of desperate help.

Thanks Darren. I haven't shot film in years - I don't have the time, patience or money to have everything drum-scanned. Particularly for editorial clients who are increasingly only accepting digital submission, 35mm film would just create a lot of extra work for myself.
