Lost the fire...

My photography has suffered as of late. For some reason, I seem to have lost the fire for photography. Maybe because I am feeling stifled in regard to being unable to travel all over to shoot photographs whenever I want to. Not having freedom to travel on a whim, photographing different things, people, places, etc., manages to weigh on my creativity.

Being tied up as much as I have been lately, I can kind of understand this and maybe it is just that I am avoiding my photography more, engaging in other, more mundane pursuits and tasks. I should be getting into the swing of Autumn photography, as the leaves are beginning to turn on their fall colors, but I find myself avoiding the opportunities for photography that do arise. It may be that I have been feeling ill lately, plus trying to get things done before the winter snows hit, making photography less of a pleasure these days. I don't know just yet what is going on with me and my photography.

I should force myself to pick up my cameras, even if that means shooting pictures of a lamp post or something innocuous. I think maybe I'll start doing that after all the firewood is cut, split and stacked in a day or so... But for now, there's other things that need to be done before winter comes, so that won't happen until I find the appropriate time... It snowed just last night, so time is very short before winter arrives. I believe it is going to be a harsh winter.

Well, not much more to write about for now, so I'll post this entry and make yet another late dinner...
