inspire me

5DMKII + 85mm f/1.8

Looking for inspiration these days. It was like my creativity died with the summer.

Dull days, rain & all that other work I do to make money have kept me from shooting. I'm mad at myself for letting my photography slowly slip away in the last while....

We all need a sabbatical from time to time. I have found it helpful to focus on personal projects and ideas around photography helps focus your creativity.

Super belle photo!! May I ask where it was taken from? I look at it this way...physical and artistic activity are both muscular in nature, just different parts, and both need rest. This one looks like you had to use both to get.

Giddy as always, Lisa!

I love how the sun and the mist can show such depth: the rays shining over the tips of the trees in the foreground, and the contrast between the two mountains (one behind the other) in the right. Speculartatular!

Inspiration (for your winter months):

Also, I'd be happy to switch with you. If you want to come to Australia for summer, I'll look after Vancouver for ya. I want winter (snow) badly!

Lisa, I've been a fan of your work for some time now (first heard you on TWiP). Keep up the good work, as I know your work and creativity inspires others. I know how frustrating it can be to go for long periods of time without being able to shoot (or without feeling creative).

I am a songwriter, and often times I just don't feel "inspired" to write. However, if I take a step back, sometimes I'm able to come back into it with renewed vigor.

This photo is magnificent, by the way.

Don't be mad at yourself, simply look at it this way: you're bottling that photographic creativity for the right moment, the right inspiration. When it comes to you, your work is amazing. People that take photos every single day may capture more artwork, but I believe it is all about the passion behind the shutter click. You definitely have that.

Nice work.

@ Don Komarechka

(Maybe?)Lisa is a fair weather photographer past the honeymoon period?
She has skills no doubt but I don’t think a truly passionate photographer will complain about the seasons or weather?

I don’t think you would hear Cartier Bresson say" It was like my creativity died with the summer. Dull days, rain, blah blah”

I know photographers in Qld Aust. that pray for a dull rainy days with great atmosphere and diffuse light for something different instead of harsh high contrast sun.

Get back on that Horse and show us your great work Lisa

Amazing... I have been referred to your blog by a friend and i am zapped at the eye for detail you have. Truly they say - the best part of a photography is 3 cm behind the lens. Keep the great work going !!
