site: Outcast of Originality (Chip Simons, via EP)

Need a creative kick in the butt? I love this guy...

Chip Simons:

I have always strived to be original and different than everyone else. I am often asked where I come up with ideas and how I can reinvent myself over and over. I give a lot of talks so I have some pre-rehearsed lines like….

Shoot whatever you want that makes you happy and gets you excited about shooting more and more.

Don’t try to be like everyone else... think how you can be the opposite.

Change your perspective... don’t ever show me something from 5 foot 9... I know what it looks like already.

Show us something we have not seen before... and not your naked body.

Don’t be so obsessed with taking great pictures... that’s a horrible pressure to put on yourself.

Stop making sense.
