For months, I've been in a creative rut. I've tried to blame it on the winter blues and being pregnant, but the truth is...I'm lazy. I've been really good at being lazy. Sometimes, it's just easier to sit back and wait for the next big thing. Then, out of nowhere...you see a photograph, a person, a place, a thing, a anything...and BAM, creativity comes pouring in.
Such a thing happened to me earlier this week when I dropped into the Mortal Muse Flickr pool looking to be inspired for our current prompt: "I am." It was then that I ran across Daniela Klara R.'s photo - genius. Her photograph completely nailed the emotions I was feeling...that fine balance between good and mischievous.
I immediately ran upstairs to put on "my thinking crown" so I could do what any artist would do... sit in front of the camera for a little self-portrait fun. I guess that's just how I roll...and to do any proper creative thinking, you must have a thinking crown.
So, I am a thinker. I am a dreamer. I am a creator. What are you?
Until next time,

Both of your photos are amazing! LOVE this ladies!!
Brilliant, Ashley! You are so very creative! And I love that you were inspired by the flickr pool. It is such a wonderful place to go and be inspired...x
Very cute photo of yourself in your crown...I would almost always avoid the camera being trained on me...have never been photogenic and have always hated the fact that I don't look like someone else. So - sitting in front of the camera experimenting with poses, etc. would definitely not bring out the creativity in me - rather probably scare me to death! I do like to get outside and start shooting flowers or nature to spark the juices flowing...
Love the inspiration for your selfie. I think you're far more creative than you've given yourself credit for. Hope that rut has traction ahead. I've heard kitty litter sprinkled near the tire can help. : )
LOVE the thinking crown photos :)
what a fun post ashley! i love your crown :)
That is a cool inspiration shot! Creativity is so strange how it just pops up when you least expect it and is not something you can force. Loving both of your self-portraits!
