In a funk by Alan Rodmell

Posted on May 14, 2008

Sorry to all my friends that I have not been as active on the bubble as usual.

I am in a bit of a photographic slump lately for some reason. I am fighting to pull myself out of it and start cranking out the work.

I am going to sort myself out this weekend I think so I apologise if I miss any of your work. I will make sure I catch up this weekend.

Wishing you all a productive week on the bubble

    You know.. I think these funks are not something we can force ourselves out of. I go through these quite a bit actually. You can do things to stimulate yourself, your sense of creativity, but it will come when you are ready. Surround yourself with things that inspire you…study other peoples works… I find that when I get in a funk it is usually do to some other unseen stress I have not dealt with. That is my two cents though. I look forward to more work when you are recovered.

  • Alan Rodmell:

    I really just find that sometimes I find it hard to motivate myself to go take pics. I WANT to take them but I just can’t find the inspiration to do so which is a little frustrating.

    I’ve been out tonight and snapped off a few dozen shots. I’m on the way back…… :D

    Tip: join a photography society and join in to the competitions. That will give you a target.
    Our topic is Holy Places. So, went to graveyard, going to a Cathedral tghis weekend and this morning I visted a Sikh temple.
    Go figure the opportunities
