Re: Getting Unstuck - How do you re-motivate yourself?
Now I just need to write a couple of blog entries, other priorities first. Not necessary to do: check
write up a short Russia trip, writing is too much words, a pictures says it all. No writing: check
photograph some equipment for various purposes as long as you have it, not need to do it now: check
unify my photo libraries it works now non-unified too. Can be done later; check
read some photo books I have bought that\'s not an assignment, not a must. Leave them for the holidays or a bad weather day: check
develop and organize some kid shots develop OK, your kids and wife will love it. Involving them in your passion is always a good thing. Supporters. Start with that. Leave the organizing thing; check
develop and scan 30 films or so OMG, developing can be so much fun, but the scanning procedure. Bleh argghhh. Bring them to a lab and stop shooting film, definitely stop shooting film, too laborious, etc. ... check
process the results you see what I mean. Film is so laborious. Processing is a lot of work if the scan is not done right. You probably are gonna want to re-scan some shots again. repeat: \"I should not shoot film, I should not shoot film...\" check
test some lenses the best test is to use them. No need to do brick walls or test charts. Just a nice shoot soon. Check
sell a bunch of equipment Do that. Start with that. Make your photographic life simple, get rid of a lot of gear. And enjoy the money it raises. Check
learn to use Photoshop better training on the job. No need to do this as a separate activity. You are already learning Photoshop. You are very good. We see it, every post again. Check
learn to use my Wacom tablet better same as the Photoshop thing. Get it out of your head as a separate task.
put the Contax mount back on my 50 and test my macro setup I don\'t know why should you mount the back. No need to test. Stop testing. Without tests and pixel peeping photography is easier, more fun. Check
better organize my photo boxes, scan the best of my old negs and slides I told you, stop film. Stop it. Stop it now. Check
You see, now you have plenty of time spend it on the thing you like to the most.
Post here at FM and shoot with your favorite gear of course. Have fun.
