How selfies owe it to creative thinking
The great-grandad of today's selfies, the Ives Process, was developed by innoivative thinker Frederic Eugene Ives. He held over 70 patents by the end of his career and was a trailblazer in the field of photography.
How did he get his first breakthrough?
He simply slept on it...not that difficult, right? 😉
But, the secret lies in how he prepped his brain before that and what he did with the raw data his mind threw back at him....that's creative genius.

The 5 stages
- Gathering in-depth knowledge directly related to the task, plus a general understanding of diverse topics.
- Trying to fit different ideas and concepts together to see if they produce cohesive pictures.
- Once done, putting them aside and doing something totally unconnected. If you were Sherlock Holmes, you would probably be gushing about the Stradivarius violin by this time 😁.
- Waiting for the idea to return.
- Testing & adapting it based on feedback.
