Last 2 weeks, I don't know what is going on but I don't feel to motivated to pick up my camera.  So strange.  Might be the weather. 

Regardless, how do you stay inspired?

I’ve been at this for almost 6 years. I hate my day job. All I want to do is create images and there aren’t enough hours in the day. I’ll never get around to writing, I’m trying to launch a photography club, and I need to get another website launched.

What was your question again?

I view others work, and try to visualize how I could create something that is unique.

I hit a slump after 39 years.
I think my motivation has shifted because of the number of images out there.
The world is overflowing with photos.
Ten a penny. (It's value is less today because of digital, because it became effortless.)

The fact that I look at other's work, demotivates me.
The volumes of (good) work out there is overwhelming.

I'll watch tv for a couple minutes, when my brain begins melting I'll know its time to do something else...like go endeavor to wear out my camera.....I have my ups and downs, and they seem to have a lot to do with pain and medication levels......:blink:

Why so serious?
