With the help of the new Nikon, the photographic burnout is officially coming to an end. Since I got it, I’ve actually just started making images for fun again. No great expectations about what the images should be, if they communicate a particular concept well, etc. Just me seeing something, focusing, and tripping the shutter. It only takes a second and it’s exactly what I needed. I’ve shot more frames in the last three days that I’ve done in the last three months.
I live through the camera. When I have trouble making photographs, it’s a good bet that I’m having trouble with other things in life as well. Everything is starting up again now. My photography, my enthusiasm, everything. I’m working tomorrow, I have what I think is the start of a number of good leads on freelance assisting work, I’m beginning what I can just feel will be an amazing period in my life. Chicago now, Tokyo in a couple years, and all from now on photography and collaboration and exploration and everything that makes life great. It won’t always be great, obviously, but I can feel something big coming on.
What’s your passion? Where will you follow it?
