Journal: What the heck happened?

Here it is, the first day of 2007... it's been over ten months since I last made an entry here, having entirely dropped the ball on the workshop project. I can only remember pulling out my camera twice during that period... once for my son's birthday (I only took a couple shots) to take on vacation (I took a few shots at the Oklahoma City Zoo). I didn't buy this expensive (to me) camera rig to let it sit on a shelf.

What happened? I find myself more inclined to shoot with my wife's new point-and-shoot nowdays than my digital SLR. I think I was taking it all too seriously, as I've mentioned in a previous journal. But I think it's also just something I'm dealing with in my life... all of the stuff I want to work on isn't getting done and I seem to be just piddling away the hours of my life getting nothing useful done.

New year, new goals, all that stuff. I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions, but I can see that there are things that need changing. My approach to photography is one of them.

I'm going to try picking up right where I left off here, with Project 3, and I'm going to tattoo Craig Tanner's words on my forehead: "productivity equals creativity". Time to be productive. (Starting with cleaning up my work room, so I have room to do studio work, since it's below freezing outside right now.)
