Is anybody else, struggling for inspiration?

Unusually for me, I don't have the inspiration, to pick up my camera

Feel a bit yucky at the moment, so don't want to go outside unless I have to, and keep thinking I could do a still life or something, or the kids,dogs but then don't

I need an inspirational kick up the bum, I think!

Anybody else feel like this at the moment?

Re: Is anybody else, struggling for inspiration?

The weather gets me down! I've been looking at houses in Australia again - always makes me feel like something to look forward to (the weather and a nice house that's not in the valleys!!).

Go to your town center for BC's challenge to find a pic of santa

Yep feel exactly the same. Works not been to great either but helped a lot today by the other secretary so I'm feelng a lot happier!

I hate this time of year and it really does get me down. Hopefully when everythings settled at work and we've moved offices I'll be able to not work so many hours and take some photo's. Looking forward to maybe Boxing Day and maybe take the dogs for a walk.

Re: Is anybody else, struggling for inspiration?

Going to force myself to take the camera out the bag tomorrow, I hate having a cold, and I have a real nasty one at the moment,plus the weather is pretty yucky too.

Azz are you emigrating? or wishful thinking? I know you hate the coldI don't mind as long as I am warm, and have suitable clothing on.

Glad, I am not the only one too xx

Lol I wish! Imagine all the photo-ops there!

All my family are here, and I know I would miss them too much. Maybe Spain, it's warmer and closer

Re: Is anybody else, struggling for inspiration?

It is all clearer now.
It's the lurgey rather than the lack of inspiration. Maybe as you feel a wee bit more human the inspiration will return.

Heres to a speedy recovery for your health and inspiration.

It's the time opportunity I lack and I have inspiration by the bucketful.
I live 1000 feet up a hill with views to the three peaks and Blackpool tower available.
We still have snow lying and there is wildlife galore, not to mention the sunsets and NO nasty artificial light to muck things up. Well apart from the gantry lights on the new underground reservoir site across the valley which might make a good night shot.

Yes, I feel pretty inspired.

Re: Is anybody else, struggling for inspiration?

I'm sitting here at work, my eyes are sore & red because of an 18 week wait for a pair of prescription safety glasses, my two kidney stones are hurting & I just found out I must use vacation time for Christmas day because Intel is shutting down that day. Which bad eye would I use to focus? lol Hang in there Suzi, it could be worse. You could be old & decrepid like me.
