SAUL LEITER
Born 1923
“Leiter is a rare artist, one whose vision is so encompassing, so refined, so in touch with a certain lyrical undertone, that his best photographs occasionally seem literally to transcend the medium.” – Jane Livingston, The New York School, p. 322

How to be creative talk by John Cleese.
Enjoy this witty and insightful video on how to be creative by John Cleese from Monty Python, Faulty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda, etc. In addition to being very creative and funny, creativity has been an area of study for him and he has some wonderful tips and knowledge to share. The video is just over 36 minutes. I have also included a 10 minute version below. They are both worth watching!

What prevents new ideas?
“The need to be right all the time is the biggest bar there is to new ideas. It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong than to always be right by having no ideas at all.”
Edward de Bono
