This is What it is Like: Creativity

"That's so cool," Kerry said. I had just taken a picture of her in front of a Christmas wreath at night. As I looked into the screen, Kerry was in focus but the lights behind her were streaky.

"I must have moved," I shrugged.

Her face lit up. She grabbed my camera and began to turn and bound about like an excited cat. In an instant she stopped and looked down at the screen.
"Oh! This is awesome!" She chuckled and began to run around in the dark --using the camera like a paint brush against a invisible mural. Sometimes when I write, I am in an altered state. I am flying -- time and the world vanishes. I have never taken drugs. Why should I? I bet they would be boring in comparison. There was no doubt about that as I watched Kerry and a camera.  (Photos by Kerry Nolte.)
