“ Despite all this, I’ve stubbornly stuck to my basic plan of being an artist, because it’s what I love and want to do, and once in a while I’ll reap some reward or other from my hard work, which makes it all worthwhile. Every several months, though, I’ll hit a wall. My mind goes completely blank. I have no ideas, good or bad, and find myself thinking, “Ok, I guess that’s it then. Maybe I should have stuck to biochemistry after all.”** I’ll mope around for a bit, look at some of the stuff I’ve made in the past and think, “How’d I come up with that? That’s actually pretty clever. Where did my cleverness go? Wtf??”
I have to share this as it’s damn good advice from one of my favorite photographers from one of my favorite countries.
I recommend this post (and the entire blog) not just to photographers, but to anyone in a creative field, especially those trying to freelance it. It’s definitely how I’ve been feeling lately (which explains the lack of actual posting from me. Sorry).
