I don't mean permanently but did you ever get to a point where you just didn't feel like picking up the camera and taking some shots? This past week was one of those episodes for me. I don't remember it ever happening before. I'd think about doing some macro work or testing out some lenses and I just couldn't find the energy to do it.

Maybe it's all the PP I've been doing since the ARC National and the additional PP from 5 studio shoots since then. Maybe it's being a little depressed about Rowdy: he's finally starting to show his age and, physically, he's getting weaker. He's still his wonderful self but seeing him slow down is very sad.

Maybe I'm just tired. Rowdy's not the only one in this house getting old . Having said all that, this is the first time I can remember not having the desire to create images.

I think it's time for drastic remedial action: today I'll take the camera and force myself to take some shots of things I don't normally shoot. Fun stuff. Stuff for my portfolio and not for sale. Stuff I like regardless of what others think. I'll let you know if it works.
