Inspiration

So what inspires you? This is a question that I ask and gets asked of me often at work.
Why are you here and what is your purpose? What do you want to achieve from you life?

For me, its about creating. What can I make, whether it be with paint, via the camera or in the digital darkroom. What can I make that inspires me and other around me? Can I tell a story or create an emotional reaction.
