Well, Ming, if ever you feel down and uninspired, look back at some of your great photos. And just go and sit somewhere and watch the world go by - you'll have a photograph in no time. I think we all go - creatively - through downtimes. Sometimes you have to go with it, sink, wallow, and then up you come and the world is full of opportunities again. You will find them with your clever, artistic eye.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168102153064280986.post-82032312064551383132008-06-02T13:45:00.000-04:002008-06-02T13:45:00.000-04:00well that's pretty good photo, even if you are goi...well that's pretty good photo, even if you are going thru a block right now.TChohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457341656172523620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168102153064280986.post-29285525199059099692008-06-02T13:41:00.000-04:002008-06-02T13:41:00.000-04:00I have all the time both: commentator's block and ...I have all the time both: commentator's block and inspiring block.

Decide on a theme before you go out of the door, and look for only that! For instance you could do an orange day, where you have to take pictures of orange things... or square things, or people with hats, or things that begin with the letter H, or.... there are many possibilities, if you start to think like that! <BR/><BR/>Often the problem (for me) is, that there are too many options, and then it can help me to set up very strict limits for my creativity!<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227411139331660633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168102153064280986.post-71266766322069839372008-05-30T13:40:00.001-04:002008-05-30T13:40:00.001-04:00Ming that photo is great!

Let's say you've been selected to go on a twenty year space flight to colonize a distant planet, and you will be placed in semi-stasis for a while, with a side effect of robbing you of all except fuzzy memories of your town. You will be given an album of the people close to you, but the re-vital-sensate-mini-holodeck pavilion will only be activated by the places, things, smells, textures, and sounds documented in your blog photos.
