Verve 62

I am a 9th great-grandson of Tristram Coffyn, an original founder of Nantucket Island and immigrant from Brixton, England in 1635. I only mention this because of my intoxicated immersion into the genealogical gene pool, of recent. And so: Apparently much of the way I think and express myself can be described as "creative," although for me it is just what i do. I know no other way to communicate or express.

There are times when an inability to communicate or express myself imposes on my ability to interact in this world in a successful way. There are, in many instances, great benefits to having the ability to "be" creative. Even doing so on demand can generate an income, although it can rob you of your soul.

At the moment, my expression is photography, and more specifically, shooting photos using an iPhone. I am obsessed; it feeds my need for instant gratification.werd

Other creative exploits I have been caught engaging in: cooking, wine, composing and recording music, typography, old pieces of mail, bookplates, genealogy, travel, business strategy.
