I was rewinding the film in my camera to take it out so i can develop it tomorrow, when suddenly it hit me... the passion i once had for photography that i recently tried to recapture is more lost than ever. it's no longer this amazing art to me with every step in the process being so mystical. it is now a bland, boring, step-by-step process as i create artwork from someone elses head, not my own...
so my solution: i'm going to stop forcing myself to take photos when i don't want to, but when the mood strikes me i will take my camera everywhere and anywhere and take pictures that i want to take. i'm also going to try to start doing more artsy creative photos... maybe some nude photos. it's very european to take nude photos, and it's just so artistic because there is so much perfection and imperfection in the human body. i have this whole idea for a photo shoot with nudity and shadows. but, i need models, and the guts to actually shoot and develop the photos, so we'll see.
