A creative block.

I can't seem to think up any decent photographic ideas at the moment.

It's not for a lack of gear or opportunity, I'm just not feeling it at the moment. And there's got to be a reason why not.

Normally in these sorts of lulls I just take the opportunity to do some homework i.e. looking at other people's work, sort the boring tech and gear stuff I normally hate doing and tidy up my archives and hard-drives. All the boring stuff which has to be done, but normally doesn't get done because I'm either too lazy or too busy.

But this time it's sticking. I've run out of techy stuff to sort, I've filed all my negatives neatly. My hard-drives are all neat and de-fragmented. My cameras are spotless and my lenses have all been CLA'd. Yet I haven't had anything by way of a flash of inspiration. So I think it's time for a photo weekend. I've got to take some time out and just bully myself into getting creative by putting myself in a position where I have to come away with a decent shot. No ifs, buts or maybes. Just some good photos. For the first time in well over a month.
