“Inspiration and creativity, they ride right next to one another…Not everyday are you going to wake up, the clouds are gonna part and the rays are gonna come down…sometimes you gotta just get in there and force yourself to work and maybe something good will come out of it.”
-Jack White on creativity. From a great documentary called Under Great White Northern Lights.
My take? You must take a picture every day. Maybe something good will come out of it.

I love this DVD. He also uses a cheap toy guitar and moves stuff around on the stage so it’s harder to get too. He really likes to challenge himself.
creativity, is the manifest of your conscious… But sometimes u’ll need to force yourself to do things. He just know that the hard work is gonna pay the bills, and at the end of day he just love what he does. I remember on an interview you (chase) had with Penny de los Santos, she said “never forget about the LOVE of doing something, whether he like it or not, he just Loves doing it. he knows FOR REAL THAT SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME OUT OF IT!
A lot of people say he’s full of it, I say he IS a creative genius. The fact that he works so hard and keeps creating new sounds it maybe what annoys some people (who’d rather he stuck to the same old thing and not be such a show-off).
Chase, bravo. That’s the simplest, most often-forgotten piece of advice out there. Yes, maybe I’ll take 10 photos today and non of them will be mind-blowingly awesome. But If I take a handful of photos every day for a month, more than likely I’ll have captured a moment I’m proud of and maybe even find it’s way into my portfolio
Mr. White says it well. Thanks for posting this inspirational video.
PS – Looking forward to you sharing a few of your fav Drive entries.
TRuth! Photography should be a passion. You should be motivated to get up, take your camera with you, big or small, and take pictures. Things that you find beautiful, or things that inspire you. Truth.
