John Cleese on Creativity
This video has been making its rounds about the internet, and I finally sat down to watch it today. Great speech/lecture by John Cleese (yeah, Monty Python and such) about how to be creative. If you just want the one-liner, he argues to be creative, you have to be open and playful, but also willing to close up and get to work. I do recommend watching the whole video, though.
What people love
Humans of New York, The Sartorialist, Jak and Jil, etc, all prove one common idea: people love photos and the stories behind them. (If you don’t believe me, just take a spin through some of the comments on any of the above mentioned blogs). This is also why senior portraits, contrived Christmas cards, and the like rarely win attention from greater audiences (well, besides grandma. But grandma would like every photo of you).
couldn’t get a photo of the performers on stage, but Lydia and The Caedmon Quartet put on a fantastic performance.
come here when the apocalypse happens.
