Beginnings

One of the greatest challenges for me is not deciding on a project or photographic concept but getting it started. I often have many great ideas and projects in mind but the actual act of getting the gear ready, setting out, and starting the project often gets pushed aside. To me, it is similar to starting an exercise program or diet. Ah, I’ll start tomorrow, then tomorrow comes and it becomes, ah, I’ll start this weekend. The one exception has been writing this blog. My intent in starting my writing was to motivate me and maybe help others who have fallen into the same type of abyss. Yes, it sometimes feels like an abyss more than a mere hole.

I have a mini-vacation coming up over the next few days and I want to publically proclaim this is my notice to you that I will no longer put off starting my projects and artistic concepts as I have over the past year or so.

If you are in this same photographic, artistic, or personal void I am challenging you to join me. Let’s stop putting off until tomorrow to get our projects going or make that change. Like the well-known sneaker company says, “Just do it”.
