We'll see. Lately I haven't had much motivation to do any shooting. Not sure why really, but I just can't force myself to pull the trigger on the shutter. I seem to have several ideas of things I want to go and shoot, but I never can bring myself to going and actually shooting them. I need to get my FM2 fixed, then maybe I will run around with that and shoot some redscale film just for shits and giggles. I don't know... Today I went to a very good friends wedding up in the canyon, and I had thought about bringing my camera to do some shooting. Mountainscapes, old mining stuff, etc. But in the end I just decided it would have been too much of a hassle to carry my stuff around.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to revamp your motivation? Or has anyone ever gone through this lack of care that I am currently going through?
I think I am one step behind you ....
I feel it's a pain carrying my equipment around, like I have very little motivation to even bother getting it all out and setting it up ... it's much easier to just not do it right? I find myself bringing my camera, but I don't do anything with it.
Lately when I think of it that way, I have regretted not taking the photos or bringing my camera (sometimes). I have people ask me "did you bring your camera?" and I sigh and say "no"
The only thing I've been taking photos of lately is my nephew, and I'm doing that once a month to show how much he has grown, some little thing I decided myself to do. Now we have this photo contest that I need to at least give an effort on, since my last submission really was disappointing.
It's funny because months ... and months ago I created a little project for myself... I was going to post it here so everyone else could follow... but I thought, well, if someone didn't lead by example no one would do it... but I have no finished it ... ugh.. I don't want to give it away as I still want to post it here as a surprise thing... it's kind of a fun project... in total you'd post ten photos that were new. I had trouble trying to find 10 photos to take regarding the subject/idea. It's not hard, the photos don't have to be amazing, it would just bring back some fun into taking photos of things that mean a lot to you.
