In order to break through a period of creative block that I was experiencing, I decided to go through the creativity course called The Artist’s Way. The course is designed to jog your creativity and open yourself up to living a more creative lifestyle. It does this through a series of tasks and lessons.

One of the tasks that appeared in the course was for me to write down five different lives that I would opt to live if I could choose to be someone else. Later in the course, I was asked to research these different lives and find ways to implement them into my current life in order to experience more creativity.

One of the lives that I chose was to be an aerial photographer. It sounded like a job that would be a lot of fun. So I started researching different companies that do this kind of work (like Cooper Aerial). Through this, I learned about a method called photogrammetry that uses remote sensing technology to map out the land.

This appealed to me because it combined my interest in art with my interests in math and science. I started doing more research and became something of an expert in the subject. I don’t actually take aerial photos myself but I do a lot of writing and reading about the topic. It’s just one way in which my creative life opened up after doing The Artist’s Way.
