Today’s episode is a little subdued. Stripped down. Straight talk. Just you and me.

We’re going deep into one of the biggest secrets I’ve learned about photography (or really ANY craft). If you’re looking to stand out, innovate, or generally get new and fresh ideas, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

* Take your art to the next level by adding something outside of its inherent form. An example would be if you’re a photographer, try adding text like stories or poetry that helps connect with your image.

* Use Edward de Bono’s design technique to harness creativity on demand by taking elements from a completely disparate subject and injecting it into your art.

* If you don’t want to be treated like a commodity, don’t act like one.

Enjoy!
