The long dull winter months……..
I find that I really hit a low during winter months. The days are dull and short, there are very few weddings and generally, I want to hibernate. My zest for life and photography ebbs to an unbelievable low and I really don’t want to do anything at all, not even pick up the camera.
Photography is like everything else in life, you need to practice, practice and practice some more if you want to keep your eye in and your creative juices flowing.
I by chance came across a blog that deals with lighting and photography in general and was really enjoying what I was reading and the tips and ideas for studio work and then I read that he was no longer going to keep the blog updated and he was focusing on a Photo A Day blog.
So, being curious as I am, I went and had a look at the site.
What a great way to keep yourself focussed (excuse the pun) and disciplined, by taking and publishing a photo a day.
What a great way to motivate yourself when you just don’t feel like picking up the camera because business is quiet, or you just don’t feel bothered to do anything, because you have made a commitment to yourself and others who will maybe look forward to seeing what you will post tomorrow and don’t want to let them or yourself down.
So, even though it is the (almost) beginning of summer, I have started my Photo A Day site and you can visit it here.
By starting it now, I will get myself into the correct mindset for the horrible winter months.
