THE CREATIVITY OF LIFE.

Filtering by Category: INTERESTS

FUCK THE RULES.

I MAKE THE RULES. I make the rules because this life is to be one masterpiece amongst many. “THE CREATIVITY OF LIFE” is a concept and philosophy that is very important to me.

The philosophy of "The Creativity of Life" is what I believe to be almost the single most important aspect of perceiving and understanding life. Its a concept that celebrates the inherent creative potential within every aspect of existence. It emphasizes that life itself is a dynamic and ever-evolving process, urging us to embrace our own creative instincts and engage with the world in a transformative and imaginative manner. This philosophy I’ve customized to fit my life, my paradigms and who I am encourages us to recognize the interconnectedness of all things and to actively participate in shaping our own experiences and the world around us through creative expression.

1. Embracing the Creative Spirit:

"The Creativity of Life" philosophy invites us to acknowledge and embrace the creative spirit that resides within each of us. It recognizes that creativity is not limited to artists and innovators but is an intrinsic aspect of being human. By nurturing our creative instincts, we can tap into our unique abilities to imagine, innovate, and bring forth new ideas, perspectives, and solutions.

2. Seeing the World as a Canvas:

This philosophy encourages us to view the world as a canvas waiting to be shaped and transformed. It invites us to engage with our surroundings with a sense of curiosity and wonder, seeking inspiration in the ordinary and finding beauty in unexpected places. By recognizing the creative potential in every moment, we can infuse our lives with meaning and purpose.

3. Embracing Change and Growth:

"The Creativity of Life" philosophy recognizes that life is a process of continuous change and growth. It encourages us to embrace this inherent dynamism and to approach challenges and transitions with a creative mindset. By adapting, learning, and evolving, we can navigate the ebb and flow of life's ever-changing landscape and unlock new possibilities for personal and collective transformation.

4. Cultivating Authenticity and Self-Expression:

This philosophy emphasizes the importance of authenticity and self-expression. It encourages us to tap into our innermost passions, values, and beliefs, allowing them to guide our creative endeavors. By expressing ourselves honestly and authentically, we not only honor our true nature but also inspire others to do the same, fostering a culture of creativity and individuality.

5. Fostering Connection and Collaboration:

"The Creativity of Life" philosophy recognizes that creativity thrives in a collaborative and interconnected environment. It encourages us to seek meaningful connections with others, valuing diverse perspectives and fostering collaboration. By sharing ideas, supporting each other's creative endeavors, and engaging in collective creativity, we can co-create a richer and more vibrant world.:

"The Creativity of Life" philosophy invites us to embrace our innate creative potential, view the world through a lens of curiosity and wonder, and actively participate in shaping our experiences and the world around us. By cultivating our creativity, embracing change, expressing ourselves authentically, and fostering connections, we can live lives that are vibrant, meaningful, and transformative. Let this philosophy serve as a reminder to embrace the creative energy that flows through all aspects of life and to channel it into a force for personal growth, connection, and positive change.

Taking notes from those who came before me, I aspire to have my actions and activities, works and products to encourage and inspire others. While I seek personal progress and development thru incremental measurable successes avoiding the compulsions for grand levels of social recognition and titles, I further seek to be positions to empower others. It is our creativity that defines us. It is our creativity that has defined and continues to define reality. It is our ability to reshape what we see, taste, hear, and feel to bring or construct an understanding of the world before us. We can define setting laws, order and governance to who we are and our individual to collective worlds out of the chaos that has been and is continually presented to us.

Out of everything I’ve experienced within this life, I see my life as a canvas and tapestry. It is a grand studio managed by an open-air office. It is a kingdom fit for one yet others but full with treasures that only reside in dark corners. I exist to create but had to learn much to have gotten to this point. Now as I continue to evolve ascending to higher heights and continue to create, I work with others to do the same.

BLACK IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!

Always encouraging and inspiring. The POWER of the Black Woman is always easily recognizable. Residing within a profound identity of what others have aspired to become, the Black Woman—especially that of the African-American Woman who became something great out of the many levels of cultural dysfunction and systematic racism (that could only be specific and that of America)—nor her power never resigns from that place of prominence…and that is as it should be. Contrary—yet not in competition—with that POWER of the Black Man, she exists as to balance Life itself.

Just one man’s perspective and position on the Black Woman—the Woman of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. She exists beyond the “colonial” terms and definitions of beauty or even womanhood.


Despite the dysfunction I’ve survived and have come out of, I stand in awe of the strength, resilience, and grace embodies by Black Women. They are—YOU are—the pillars of our communities., the nurturers of our dreams, and the architects of change. Their power—YOUR POWER—is boundless, their voices are mighty, and their presence is transformative. To all the Black Women who continue to rise, your are the essence of excellence, and the world is better because of you.

MUSIC TO SET THE CREATIVE MOOD.

INTROSPECTION (feat. Theo Croker) by Ashley Henry

Sometimes the creative process requires a bit of environmental conditioning to encourage and inspire.

A part of several of my personal playlists to listen to while creating, Ashley Henry is and has been one the greatest go-to’s to set the tone. Always underscoring the creative, A. Henry never fails to produce that which is thought provoking and inspirational. “Introspection” of “Beautiful Vinyl Hunter” album has served as a song heavy on repeat. Take a listen while in your creative process and see what happens.

Check him and his work out on his page, ASHLEYHENRYMUSIC.com.

ENCOURAGED AND INFLUENCED!

🖥️: BLACK and WHITE NUDE!

Yes, I have a thing for Art just like the next man might…but this right here is something that I’ve only entertained within my mind.

Source: Tumblr.com

Source: Tumblr.com

Knowing and understanding the place of Black Bodies within society, I enjoy the impression and expression this communicates. In this set—while I’m unaware of the author, models or even series—I see the female black body seemingly in want and demand. Unknown if she is grabbing herself while being embraced and then groped, there is passion here. There is desire and lust. There may be love but there also seems to be abuse and torture. The transition from the first to the second implies that there is want and desire and self-love because of it…but then too much desire—there is demand and need. Because of this demand and need, there is torture and pain.

While this was only recently found at Tumblr.com, I’m unsure of what the true meanings are but this is my objective view and interpretation.

I would love to reproduce a piece like this removing the often times sexist opportunistic paradigms or concepts that come with being a male photographer. This is a supreme type of artistry. This is worth making an independent project out of.

What do you see? What do you think?
