Time To Make Some Photographs Promise To Make New Images This Week

摘要

When I was studying photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, one of my instructors commented that some of the best photographs were made in the break room. Not real photographs, mind you, but chitchat among my erstwhile colleagues abo.ut the great photographs they were going to make—someday. While some of those images may have eventually gotten made, I'll bet only a few of my fellow students actually produced the photographs they talked about so excitedly. And that's because it's easy to get wrapped up in what you have been successfully doing for so long that you forget to explore what attracted you to photography in the first place. You can be so mesmerized by the pixels on your monitor that you forget to create new photographs, something that's different from the last batch of images captured. That's why I think it's a good idea to not only take time to smell the roses but to photograph them as well.
