Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature. (Eric Hoffer)

Word of the week: anagrams.

Definition: A word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema, formed from iceman.

I spy with my little eye. Something beginning with..

Have you ever played that game? If not, the rules are pretty simple: you look around, see an object you like and then tell your friend the first letter of the name of that object. Your friend now looks around and tries to guess what it is that you're thinking off.

"I spy with my little eye. Something beginning with a". Apple? Airplane? Antidote? Africa?

Suffering from insomnia one night, I thought that my creativity might need a boost and that a little a bit of randomness will do it some good. Many of us are used to going on a beaten path, because it's familiar, and then we suffer from a lack of variety in our lives.

So here's a small experiment that I'm going to put together. Every week I will randomly pick a word starting from some particular letter and I will take a picture that fits that word. This should be fun :) Especially, since the words won't necessarily be nouns. Here is a site that will be generating words for me. I'll go A-Z, that's 26 weeks. Feel free to join me on this challenge!
