Lost my Mojo.... HELP!!!

AB22 Easy Tiger · 16th February 2010, 04:19 PM

I'm currently sitting around the house all day waiting for my work permit to come through, not earning anything and not inspired to pick up my camera at all. I've been in this situation since the end of September and may be like this for another 3-4months.

Would anyone care to suggest a theme for me to get out and shoot something, I'll do it within a week and then take the next theme, I'll do this until I get started at work again.

I'll take the subject from the first sensible response

I love industrial stuff too but in my current demotivated state it'll be something of a challenge. But that's why I asked.

Anyone else wanting to shoot the subject, please feel free to join in and post your pics.

Where are you AB? Canada? What are your local landscape haunts?

Downtown Houston.

It's very flat and not much of interest, landscape wise. Cityscapes are good though.

buy some wire wool from a hardware spot and get burning! experiment with lights, its lots of fun and you'll really enjoy it.

Shoot some film cityscapes, late dusk or at night on Fuji RTP 64 (T64 tungsten film), if you haven't already

Do you know or have you heard of Ellis Vener btw? I had a feeling he was from Houston. Has certainly plenty of work from there

I'd imagine the cops would shoot first and ask what all the fuss was about later

I'd say try out the 'Earth' theme for the photo comp if you haven't got a shot already.
