What would we do if we could not find inspiration? What if one day we woke up and thought, \u201cI am the best at everything I do. I have mastered my art. There is nobody better than me and I am amazing.\u201d Sounds like arrogance at first, but after a second\u2019s thought, just really tragic and sad<\/em>. What if there were no muse? What if we stopped learning?? This is the topic on my mind tonight, after stalking a few blogs and needing two wiskeys to dull my jealousy to a point of being able to function\u2026.<\/p>\n

And Here is my epiphany<\/em>: I\u2019d be stunted without inspiration. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to make it to some weddings without looking at somebody like <\/a>Sean Flanigan<\/a> for a glimmer of hope that a cake shot can actually transcend wedding photography<\/b>. So why do I wallow in my envy, instead of doing what I used to love to do\u2014look at, and be inspired by, Art\u2026.   Because the day we have \u201carrived\u201d and are the \u201cbest around\u201d, is the day that we have died as an artist. We can no longer grow at that point. The world does not stop moving for artists who have become the best\u2014there is always a better on the horizon.
\n<\/em>So I thought I\u2019d share with you a few people who are spicing it up, blowing my mind and who I\u2019m losing sleep over\u2014<\/p>\n
