Came across this great short video clip of quirky artist and personal hero of mine, Maira Kalman, speaking about creativity (thanks Swiss-Miss!)
"What is the difference between thinking and feeling?" she asks. "Whenever I think too much I say: ' Stop thinking.. this will end badly.' "
She goes on to describe how she goes for walks to allow her brain to empty. "Wonderful things happen when you're brain is empty."
She concludes with a spot-on observation that certainly mirrors my experience as a photographer and, I'm guessing, anyone in a creative field:
"A lot of my work is waiting for the unexpected and to be surprised."
