on the creative side

I have been wondering lately what is creativity? Is there a difference between being creative and crafty? Is it something that you are born with or is it something that is fostered throughout life? Do the people around you help or hinder your own creativity?

I have been told often that I am a creative individual. I don’t see myself that way, which is why I started thinking about this topic. Even with my photography I do not see myself as creative. I get ideas/images in my head and need to be able to see them in print/digitally. It becomes an obsession.

I would like to hear your ideas on these questions… Let me know your thoughts…

Ciao…
