May 9, 2004 What the hell is this crap? It's me desperately trying to find something to shoot. It's me trying to motivate myself. To be honest...it's just lame:)

So it's a beautiful Sunday and the cat and the birds fighting outside the window woke me up early enough to enjoy it. At least I would be able to enjoy it if I didn't feel this constant need to be working. Working towards what? I'm not really sure. I've got a few loose ideas and directions I'm going in, but not anything specific enough to give me a sure path to follow on a day like today.

So I decided to do some laundry. Then I surfed the web a bit looking for some inspiration. I've been looking at a lot of photoblogs lately and have been amazed at the amount of high quality, creative work out there. In blog after blog I see mundane, everyday objects shot in a way that makes them visually interesting. So I decided to try my hand at it. I took a walk around the neighborhood with the Canon G1 I borrowed from work in search of mundane things to make beautiful:)

All I did was manage to hate that camera even more. Don't get me wrong...it's a fine camera. I've often taken pictures I really like with it. But today I found it very limiting. What makes it worse I think is that it's my only option now besides film, which ain't gonna happen! In fact I've been kicking around the idea of selling my one surviving film camera to help pay for a Canon 10D. I doubt I will just because the little asshole on my shoulder keeps saying "That would be stupid, because as soon as you do sell it someone's going to come along and want you to shoot film".

Alright...I'm done!
Another first class, informative, enlightening post under my belt:)
