My last post was about diving in, but I’m afraid not much progress has been made. I get like this every year. I know we all do. I’m dying for the weather to break, open the windows and let the breeze blow the curtains, rake the remaining dead leaves from the landscaping and replace with fresh mulch. Cut the grass. Sit on the patio. Backyard fires. I could go on and on.
I’m most looking forward to getting back to work. Winter has once again cause me to hibernate, and my efforts in photography and my blog have stalled. UGH! I hate this. I need to get out again but my friendship has faded with cold weather. I’ve failed to keep the momentum going and find the interesting in the mundane as I’ve talked about before. I’ve made the effort in the past to go out on cold winter days in search of subject matter. And come back with an empty tank of gas and less than impressing photos.
I want to travel. I’m dying to go out and explore new areas. It’s the fuel for my blog and photos. I’m perfectly happy with my normal, day to day life, but most of the time, it doesn’t make for interesting subject matter. Instead of struggling against the winter blahs, I may take another direction next season and focus on development. If I’m not heading out, then I at least need to catch up on reading and stay current on recent topics in photography.
I know, when you really want something you’ll find a way, not an excuse. I found this graphic and it really sums it up.
I’ve made my decision. Which will you choose?
