Tomorrow is the last day of month 4, and I've hit a wall on the creative front. Last night when I was struggling to find something shiny to take a picture of, I complained to my mom and sister about it. Jokingly, I said I wanted to quit the project because it was getting too boring. I was mostly joking, but part of me really did want to quit because I feel like my pictures are so BORING. Don't worry, I'm not going to quit. Seeing this to the end is much to important to me to stop just because I got bored.
Still, I went through and looked at the last two months of photos tonight, and out of 60 days, I only like 13 of the pictures. And most of those 13 were from August. That means, that in the last 2 months, I've posted 37 crappy pictures.
At first I thought the photos were boring because I lacked direction. So I asked all of you to give me ideas of what to shoot next. You came back with a few really good ideas that I tried to implement. But I'm struggling still.
I think my problem comes down one of to two things, really:
1. Instead of getting better at photography, I'm getting worse, and my mediocre pictures have turned downright ugly.
or
2. I'm so bored with my own photography style, that I can't see what looks good anymore.
Either way, I need some motivation. Unfortunately, that's not something I can ask for help with. That's something I need to find on my own. I need a little INSPIRATION. I need to think outside the box, and then go two steps beyond that.
I need a change of scenery.
But most of all, I need to stop taking pictures of things around my house, because it's killing my groove!
Lets go out of the country! you can do Cities of Europe as your next theme and we will be in a different one each day! OK
