My greatest photography challenge

My greatest photography challenge is myself. It isn’t a lack of creativity, it isn’t a lack of inspiration, but often it is a lack of motivation. Lately, I can find a thousand and one things that draw my attention away. Yesterday, I was totally remiss and didn’t write a blog entry. Besides going to work at my so-called “9-5” I came home sat down and just vegetated. My excuse? Well, this month we had our young grandsons (5 and 7-year-olds) every weekend and then for 8 days. While I loved the time with them I must admit I’m not used to all the activities. While this may be an “excuse” for this month I’ve found other reasons prior.

I don’t mean that I don’t do photographic things, I just haven’t taken many “new” photographs. It’s too hot, it’s too cold, I’m too tired, or any other little “excuse”. So, my challenge to myself this week is to take some damn pictures. The procrastination must end. (Just a little kick in the seat of the pants to me). If you have had this same problem lately, join me in getting something done. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complex. A simple still-life or snapshot of a bird, squirrel, or flower in your own yard.
