Today, tonight, it snowed here... Many times I would go out into the snow and take photos, evening/night time snow photography something I love doing! Talking with a friend on the phone he suggested that the roads for this particular snowfall were quite icy, so I stayed home, really did nothing whatsoever...
A post on my Facebook from a snowy night, ca. 2017, one friend wrote a comment:
Great photos come to those who put themselves out there, and find them! Love this one!
She loved the photo, only problem the photo was taken four years ago! Everyone waxing poetic about an older photo of mine (what have you done for me lately)... I feel like I'm in a major photography slump right now, especially for my urban photography, maybe going out to take photos tonight would have been the best thing I could do, and I didn't go...
I attempted some street photography earlier in the day (all crap!), was at a seminar in the afternoon at a camp next to a lake, just after sunset I went to the lake and took a few photos, this was one:
Thinking back to last year, December 2020, one epic snow night I went downtown and took one of my favourite photos of that year:
Tonight wasn't this much snow, but still snow, I could have gotten some really interesting photos, instead I really did nothing... Talking to one friend recently (fellow photographer), he said that sometimes it's good to take a break... I'm just feeling frustrated by my overall lack of results, especially in what I would call are my key genres, and I'm perhaps trying too hard as a result and forcing it too much... Even my social media break isn't helping as much as I thought, I want good quality images to post and have very few right now...
I just feel out of step, and not sure how to get it back... And getting increasingly frustrated (I said it again)
