The struggle to become artistically creative again

Just over a year ago, I was preparing to move from where I had lived for years. The original plan was to travel for several months and decide where to live. I discovered that a “life on the road” wasn’t really for me and because of so much travel to places I had not visited before I unintentionally put much of my photography on hold or was uninspired, for many that may sound odd as there are a lot of travel photographers.

Now I have a home base in an area I really enjoy, but I’m finding it tough to get going again. I purchased a lens I had been wanting for several years, hoping it would inspire me to be more active in photography. However, I’ve only managed to use it twice so far. It isn’t a lack of vision or creative ideas but it is, seemingly, a bit of procrastination.

I have set some goals and concepts to draw from especially now that the winter months are rapidly approaching. My travels will be limited during the winter so I will have time to revisit some of my photographic props and techniques using still life and winter scenes.
