Drive to Work

I feel like I'm a pull-string doll, but I'll say it again, motivation and ideas come to me at night. I'm pretty sure they'd come to me more throughout the day if I had a reasonable sleep cycle. To spark creativity, to push myself to make more ambiguous photographs and not worry about some ostentatious style, I've decided to start carrying a camera with me all the time and shoot whatever the hell I feel like. Sure, there may be photos (like this one) that are nothing more than a waste of space online, but aren't most blogs like that anyways? No offense, of course. Photography is a process, a constant development. When you get into a visual rut, I say change it all. Do something different. For me, that's shooting more and carrying my camera more. Paying more attention. Taking my time. Literal photographs have a sense of urgency and feeling that, they're just...sort of...there. The story is shot, the image is in. Your ass is covered. Didn't work out? Oh well. Write it off. Better luck next time. Been there and it's a nasty attitude to shake.

I want more. Out of myself, out of the work I do. I haven't been interested much in photographing lately, but here's to a change. A push. A renewed drive.
