DEAR FRIEND,

I believe that motivation generally comes from external sources. It’s a reward-based force that compels you to do something. It gets you out of bed in the morning; it makes you want to continue to improve your craft; it turns ideas into actions.
But inspiration is different because it comes from an internal source. It’s what comes before motivation, and usually after an honest look inside yourself. When a photographer sees something visually fresh and new, they may take an inward look and tell themselves, “I can do that,” or “I can do that even better.”

thank you
best wishes
