maybe I should explain:) because I suddenly thought today: what if you all think I am insane?
:) I've never thought about it before.
last october in Amsterdam I wrote a scenario for a movie.
I've always been writing some weird scenarios for none-excistent and none-budget movies.
but that one was special. to me.
it was kind of an end of some period, some drama of course, I always tend to make dramas.
I wrote it in 5 days when I was in Amsterdam.
and I really wanted to make that movie.
but since it's a none-budget movie...:) yeah, I decided to make a comics book instead.
maybe I can sell it and will get enough money for 2 weeks of shooting in Amsterdam:)

I have no creativity, I haven't touched my camera in over a week. I'm officially out of this this time. Sorry y'all. :(

Creativity is something that is all around us. It defines how we take each breathe of air, it moves us in how we stroll, it literately is right under our noses.
The act of stating you do not have any creativity, is simply a cop-out, an excuse, a stagnet reason to not do something for some 'other' reason you won't admit to yourself.
Today was my day 127. Do you really believe I am creative enough to have these ideas for the past 127 days, do you have faith that I can have creative ideas for another 240 days left of my personal self portrait project?
I force myself on the non-creative days, and I listen to what life has to give me. I make something out of nothing, regardless of personal self doubt or loss of a really creative idea.
At the end of each day, I am still me, and it is what I felt for that day. Or at least the mask I want to show for the day.
We are not someone else, you have to remember that. I look at some of these SPs here, and I am blown away. No, I don't comment on them, I would like to, but I don't have the extra time. Anyway, I am blown away by so many of the images here. But the users creativity, or the simplicity of their images and how great they look either way.
I see these images, and I have self-doubt, I for a second think, Damn, thats great, and I will never be able to do that...
Than I remember, they are not me, as I am not them. I do not need to follow someone else, and I do not encourage others to follow me for I am no leader.
But, what I do know, is no matter what Im feeling, no matter how far down in the pits of hades I am.... If I don't try, I will never know how creative I could have been. We have the technology to make the world from thin air, we can shape it in any form we desire, or don't.
I don't mean to rant on you, I am sure you have your reasons and that is fine. I suppose I just needed to convince myself of things sometimes.
Sometimes when you take life head on... You have to watch out for the pane of glass.

CD, I half ways agree with littlegett in that if we never start we'll never finish.
Today was my first post back in over a week too and I'm ready to hurl my computer through my window but that wouldn't do much as I work in my basement and there'd be no satisfaction in that.
No creativity? Hogwash! This is when you see what your creativity is all about! I love/hate this side of my brain.
Speaking of which, continuing to play catch up...

Andrew,
I can't argue with your words, as they are very true. Work has been really stressful for me lately, and I've been pushing myself through each day. When I get home, I don't want to do anything, except lay on the couch.
Dude, I've looked through your SP project and it's full of creativity. I'm in awe at what you are accomplishing. 240 more days, I don't think you'll have a problem with that.
As far as me, like I said, I haven't touched my camera in over a week. It's like a puzzle to me right now that have yet to figure out. I don't like this feeling, but it's overcome me for right now. I'm sure I'll break out of it, but don't know when.

Welcome to the life of the creative! Heheh. I was an IT tech/admin for 7 years before I got into photography and man, it was tough when I had right brained days and I needed to be creative. It's where my "urban" stuff is coming from right now. It feels to me like the IT world, but it's been all technical and almost zero creative for a while.
I do feel your pain. Throw your camera on a tripod, grab the remote and express yourself on the couch dude. Post it SFC. It's a part of us. Lets go!
:) Really, I feel your pain. |

Thank you for your compliment, But I till tell you a secret. The reason I started this SP project of mine, is to force me to pick up the camera. I have on one of my sites, I wanted to post a weekly image, I kept falling behind, sometimes not having an image, because I wasn't picking up the camera. The weekly image wasn't important to me, with everything else going on.
Recently, I am starting to consider dropping my classes because of other things I 'should' be doing. School just seems to be more of a hassle know than before.
However, I started my SP project to Force me to pick up the camera. This project is HUGE! for me. I have to try and finish, I have to try and continue the project until completion. There are times I forget completely about the project until later in the day, and its like a heart attack when I remember I have to take my picture. Some days Im excited because I have an idea I can pull off and the image gets done early.
We all have are reasons for everything we do. Right now, my Project 31232 is all I have... So its what I hold on to above anything else.
