first reaction paper

The artical entitled "Miracle" by Kim Zorn Caputo was very thought provoking. It made me feel that what I want to accomplish is actually possible. First, I feel that art or photography is a reflection of ones current state of mind. And secondly, it is very true how a simple task, such as clipping her nails, can bring a strong flashback to mind.

There are many times when I pop back and forth from current to past feelings. It is when I am not inhibited by sad past memories that I'm able to create art or write a paper. If I clear my mind and just simply create it turns out much better. Her artical was interesting to read because she chose many unusual words that were very creative to describe how she felt.

I am not a master of the english language so I don't have many words to chose from. I do however have an ability to draw. I feel a person can tap into that creative vein that runs through every human being - you just have to be open to it.
