The Muse who is The Muse? What is The Muse?

11.03.2006 by Peter J. Crowley // 13 Comments

A Life in Photographic Art my second book

My muse of two or more years. It is always the eyes that separate art from glamour. These eyes tell the story and explore the soul of the artist. Her eyes are my eyes, my eyes are hers, speaking volumes to those who listen.
Inspiration and creation, the muse is both sometimes she is a women, sometimes not. Working with a muse that is a women is a very intimate experience.
Sometimes you know right away that the connection is right, again it is the eyes they speak and dance in a language that only you can hear it is magic! We work, talk, laugh and the time disappears. She is a mirror of my reason for creating, an alphabet for me to comment with, we dance this creative minuet both thinking we are in control both knowing that neither of us is, there is only the moment it is brief, lasting forever.
There is more to come here including thoughts from The Muse, I hope to find others thoughts also on their creative muses. As I said the muse isn’t always a women or even a person. It is creation, it is thought, it is emotion. Comments are encouraged I don’t want to write to myself.
Share some creation. enjoy pjc

Distractions. What inhibits creativity?

07.07.2006 by Peter J. Crowley // 13 Comments

I feel compelled to write an intro, yet if the words need an intro isn’t that like a joke that needs an explanation? Thoughts over coffee 7/2/06

Distractions

An uneven start. What one wants to do and what one “has” to do. Does doing what you have to do lead to time to do what you want to do? Or just more of what has to be done? Do all the forms, files, paperwork, e-everything, i-podium, MP3, 4, 5, IM, updates, upgrades, lead to peace, nirvana? A clear view of a summers day ending with cool breezes caressing your soul, inspiration to create?
Or is it “Ground Hog Day?” Sleep and wake repeat telling yourself tomorrow you”ll be creative. Tomorrow the bureaucratic, political, hollow tasks, distractions along the yellow brick road to the magic kingdom will be swept away by that gentle breeze and you will arrive.
