Todays blog is like no other , that I have ever read or written …
I know its a big claim but it is true , the difference today is that I have not as yet created the picture that will accompany this piece !
I normally write a piece around a existing pic from a recent shoot or something topical from my archive but truth be told my water well of words & pics is running dry and I am in need of motivation ,photos and words, to that end I have painted myself into a corner , thrown myself into the photographic deep end and created a “must do” supply to demand scenario , this blog needs a new pic and it needs it NOW !
A bit of self inflicted pressure to create never did anyone any harm , truth be told I’m quite looking forward to seeking out this new pic , at this time the subject , location , lighting conditions etc , are all unknown to me ?
This shoot is beginning to sound like fun already , hope I can come back with something half decent …
… this blog needs a new pic and it needs IT SOON !
Nothing like leaving a space for pictures that do not yet exist to motivate photo-activity !
The motivation for todays blog is two fold , the first is to genuinely motivate myself but secondly I want to remind readers that starting your own website , social media feed or zine might just give your photography a knew sense of purpose , as a pro photographer working to tight deadlines it is all part of the lifestyle but personal photography can get caught up in a manyana mentality all too easily, you have to take it seriously if you want to be taken seriously !
In short , set goals, aims and deadlines for your photography , build momentum and create a photo capture habit !
The second month of the year is almost done and I for one have not “Done” much , have you ?
It’s time to kick start 2022 photographically , snooze and you lose …
Stay safe …
PS : No sooner had I finished writing this blog and a weather warning for my area was announced , this was meant to be the weekend blog but my plans have changed , I’m sharing this today as I need to find this blog picture ASAP, storm Eunice is on its way , yikes !!!!
