One Brief Moment

Last week I was speaking with an amateur photographer who told me that he’s been struggling for photographic inspiration and ideas lately.

He reflected that he felt like he’d become something of a lazy photographer and was in a bit of a rut – always photographing the same things in the same ways.

I shared a number of ideas from my own experiences of seeking photographic inspiration some of which I’ll share below but it struck me halfway through the conversation that a lot of the ideas I was suggesting was actually about him limiting himself in his photography in some way – in order to find inspiration.

Let me explain by looking at 5 photography ideas that I shared with him.

Mental Filament

I received an e-mail this morning that my photo “Mental Filament” had been sold to some wonderful person out there in the world. This is a first time sale for this photo and I have always liked the title and treatment I gave to it. Sometimes when you are deep in thought, you just want the “Mental Filament” or light to turn on.
