Topic: Need a gee up

[sausage100uk]

Been "photo-dry" recently and need to get back on the horse ASAP, been trawling through my hard drive for some scans that i don't think i've posted before. Be gentle i need some encouragement to get me out of my pic-funk....

These are great ! What camera did you use ? The last shot seems to be taken with an actionsampler... the others maybe an LCA ?

OK - these are good shots. Get off the computer, grab a camera and take a walk around the neighborhood.  Shoot without thinking it needs to be better than the last shot. Shoot because pressing the shutter release is like the sweetest feeling next to waking up next to your partner or helping your 1st born into the world......

echo the others - great stuff. I especially like the baby picture with the oof man in the background.  works really well.

now take lots more.

Nowt wrong with this lot; some strong images here & definitely lots of areas to pursue further. Maybe you just need to go to a different location & take a few snaps, get inspiration from new surroundings? Works for me. It's hard w/ a little kid on the scene; everything else tends be seem insignificant.

p.s.
"Meat raffle" should be the name of an album

Love all these. My fav is the meat raffle shot - reminds me of ........ someone elses work who is sort of well-known. But I can't remember.

Walker Evans?

I know it's been said already, but, you seem to be doing everything just fine in my eyes - the trouble is not how others see your work, but, how you see your work. Something we all suffer at times.

New surrounding often do it for me or trying to see what is familiar in a different way.

You could of course try the Phil Bebbington method,  this involves a not insignificant amount of whiskey (.....I presume) losing your clothes &  faking your own death.    I cant guarantee it will work,  butyou shouldn't discount it.

[Phil Bebbington]

Thank you, Damion! Of course, that's not so much about seeing thnings differently, more about showing people a different side to you or perhaps a side of you they'd rather not see!

Following that fateful Saturday I am somewhat scared of being left alone in the house with a quantity of instant film. If I start to get bored I call a friend who can usually talk me out of it!
