Boredom

March 27, 2013 • Leave a Comment

Boredom for a photographer can be a boon or a curse. I guess it comes to the glass half full vs half empty type of argument. Do you take the boredom and let it become inertia or do you rebel against it and try to do something that you haven't tried before. We all fall into our comfort zones as shooters where we base what we do on what has been successful and that is a whole other entry. What I am really talking about is taking the time to try something stupid when you have nothing else to do. Next time you are bored. Pick up the camera and go do something dumb. Like I did when a model flaked in Indianapolis. Fear of ridicule is the enemy of artistic endeavors. Not to say this is art. But I did learn.
