I love this one. Seriously. Great stuff. :) The plant is done in Photoshop using my graphic tablet and a (indeed very popular) stock image as reference. For the paper and soil i took photos of coffee powder (click the right thumb for details). This small plant is so much what i think creativity is. And creativity always comes with a great quotation.
“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.”

Basically i could recommend most of the videos on ted.com. Maybe even every single one of them. This site has always been one of the few steady resources i use to keep me on track. Every once in a while, there is a video like this one that i’m treasuring as a motivational resource. I’m sorry, but this has to be shared.
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
“Wait a minute. This has nothing to do with winter!“. You’re right. The original picture (on the left) for this one has been made some day in August – you can see the leaves floating on the water – but i was inspired by mainly white photographies of snow covered landscapes, which i stumbled on at that time. They got my attention with their simple but somehow stunning expression an i simply tried to recreate this feeling.
By the way, this is done in 2008. My photographic skills have improved since then. :)
