It’s been some time since my last proper entry on here and longer still since I got out to photograph.
I’m finding I feel quite down about my photography at the moment. No time or energy to either get out there and photograph or even to process the still-waiting images from London and Paris. This latter part is odd – I was able to photograph one of my “must-do” places in London (the Thames Barrier) and yet I’ve done nothing with the RAW files except one casual look through later that week.
Partly, I think, it is simply that work has been so very stressful recently. Faced with a sustained period of high pressured work combined with the very real threat of imminent unemployment aren’t conducive to creativity.
However, my worry is more that it is a permanent problem. I look at my recent images (say, last 4 months or so) and I am greatly disappointed. There’s nothing there that grabs me, that stands out to me.
OBP tells me I need to get out for some enforced photographing. Perhaps so but will I be interested enough to do anything with what we shoot or will they just add to the pile waiting on me?
