I miss photography. I miss it.
I've been inspired lately to create some new work, but they all involve other people. I have considered using myself in the photos, but I have never been satisfied with self-portraits.
I'm not sure what I'll do. I haven't created anything I've been really proud of in a while.
When did I get worse at photography?
I blame digital for part of it.
With digital it's often a "keep shooting till you hit something" method. But with film you had a finite amount of tries.
Make those tries count. Figure out what you want before you press the shutter release.
I need more things to be set up.
I'm having trouble finding time to set up photo shoots.
Life is busy for me.
Cleaning. Preparing to move. Packing.
I look around and think of what I can get rid of.
What do I not need?
What things are important to me?
Bicycles.
Photography.
A vehicle, when available.
How many pairs of shoes do I need?
How many shirts to do I need?
How can I focus more on my photography?
I'd like more people I could go to to use in photographs.
I don't feel like I have any such people right now.
I'll keep looking.
Maybe it will be easier when I get to Korea.
When I'm there, if I keep a camera always with me and are always taking photographs then those that I'm around may become accustomed to me with a camera and not notice it as often.
This was why I like my waist level twin-lens camera. I'm not covering my face as often. It's not as obtrusive.
But a waist level medium format camera is not in my budget right now.
Mostly because it cost's a full years pay.
I'll keep looking.
