Create

My good friend, and constant source of inspiration, Joel, asked me if I'd like to step in and participate with the Coca-Cola Project here on flickr. Obviously, you don't turn down an invitation like that!

 

Coca-Cola is one of those companies that transcends the product itself (super delicious cola, in case you've been living under a rock somewhere), and for most of us, has become something more. For me, thinking of Coca-Cola instantly takes me back to childhood, when I would drink icy cold Coke out of glass bottles at my grandparents' house, while examining the collectable (vintage!) Coca-Cola tins displayed on their walls. Like a good song or a familiar smell, Coca-Cola is one of those things that can pop you right back into various moments throughout your life. And a brand that powerful can also help to inspire.

 

This month's theme in the Coca-Cola group is "create." For me, that meant breaking out the watercolors and letting myself drift back to the days of my childhood when painting was as natural and as fulfilling as just about anything else in life. What does Coca-Cola inspire you to create? Show us by posting your "create" images to the Coca-Cola Group here on flickr!
