The last few days I've just sort of felt like I'm surviving the day instead of attacking it and making the most of it. I sorta hit these from time to time and even though I know the work I'm doing is necessary and I'm learning from it(a lot of technical things I'm learning!) I don't feel like I'm really grabbing hold. So tonight I wanted to find a picture for inspiration. This is a photo I took last winter or spring, I forget when exactly. The photo itself isn't really inspiring, but the hair is. This is real hair, the artist who made this do was trying to win a contest to be on a tv show and we were documenting one of her creations. I was really blown away that this was made here in Meadville. And I believe that its this sort of thing that needs to be done here--why not. Meadville can be just as creative as any other place. I try to remind myself of this when I need to, I hope the majority of my time here is living up to that principle. And even though I know I'm not the most creative person or the most talented, I think there is a great deal I can offer...and offer it here in this small community. So tonight this photographer is trying to be inspired by a hair stylist. Tomorrow I hope I can put it into practice again.... we'll see. SayerMotter Photograph by Richard Sayer.
