During my quest for art, I may find a subject that is a bit of artwork itself that requires little creativity on my part. That doesn’t mean I lacked the creative mindset to create my own but that I had the creative vision to recognize the art in the subject. Years before I photographed this vintage building it was a busy and vibrant service station complete with gasoline pumps, and several mechanics to service your vehicle. It had transitioned to a variety of different other businesses once the gasoline and service station closed but nothing ever lasted very long. What always remained was the building.
I often feel like that is what happens to my photography. My photography transitions from one thing to the other but only temporarily operate in the “building”. For me, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is a good thing because I believe it keeps me thinking moving forward. On the other hand, I find it difficult to stay focused on longer-term projects.
In the coming months, I am going to be working to find a way into channeling my eclectic mindset to get both changing directions while staying focused on long-term projects.
