I haven’t been doing much photography lately. Time has been scarce, but more than that, I’ve been missing the spark. After over 20 years behind the lens, I’ve never once really felt burnt out… until now. I suppose it’s a reminder to never say never. Here’s hoping the inspiration finds its way back.
This image is from an evening walk in the mountains last month. While it may seem peaceful, the reality was anything but - the small pond I stopped at is near a crowded picnic spot, packed with people, and the chaos threw me off. I managed a few frames before packing up and heading home, still feeling disconnected.
Great photo!
I too, have times where I don't go out to take photos, so I focus on the activity first and take a camera with me. I may go cycling and that's the focus of my day, but I usually end up taking photos. Here in Colorado the crowds can make finding inspiration and enjoying the outdoors difficult.
