I am on the road with Standard Films right now. Over the long drive, Travis and I talked about all sorts of things, one of the themes that comes up frequently with us is creativity, inspiration, and how our lives are affected by the ebbs and flows of the creative cycle. One thing that always seems to kill creativity, is working from home. When you are home you are trapped in your normal routine and held hostage by the mundane. Chores and bills and social obligations all draw energy away from the creative process.

Hit the road though, and all that is behind you. You see new things, and you see regular things in a new light. It is guaranteed to kickstart my inner art guy.

I'm missing out on so much at home right now, but at least if I have to miss that, I can be happy about taking good pictures.

I shot this while were driving so it's not really one of the good pictures...
