Inspiration Therapy

When I needed inspiration, I always brought my camera with me just to take photos for myself. Just practicing the art of looking and just enjoying the moment when it is just you and your imaging tool. I find that there's really no excuse not to grab your camera and just go shoot something. I have been so caught up with my thesis and about saving and other stuff that I do not really love, but felt like I had to do that I have forgotten how to be relaxed and just be creative in my own way. Randall Dagooc of Mango Red told me something that really hit the idea in the head. (As photographers) "inspiration is our currency".

With that I just walked around and shot anything that fancied my eye. There's no account executive telling me the important parts to shoot, there's no time pressure, I didn't even had to worry about my gear with me. Just the camera and a fifty. That's it.

Looking for Something

I was in UP for a classes that did not happen. So I thought I'd bring my camera and look for "perfectly inspired" shot where everything just fell together and then God pats you in the back and told you "that was for you son".

But no. Nothing like that happened. But here's what I found!

In no particular order:

Falling Apart

Indigo

"Green" Decorations

Extra Sprinkles Please

Water Marks
