It has been well over 2 months since I last blogged and almost as long since I picked up my camera with any degree of seriousness, or, to be honest, enthusiasm.
Alot has gone down, but we are now literally, on the other side (of the world), as well as, (I am hoping) on the other side of my creative detour. Theres been the odd moment of enjoyment with a competition win here, an awesome capture there, but on the whole, to have had some time out to get perspective has been well needed.
I recommend switching off your ipod, not logging into twitter and not surfing the net – not only as a good idea – but as an essential part of re-evaluating and re-inspiring your creativity or just general life.
Given time to think about: sameness vs. originality, more vs. less, quality vs. quantity, fear vs. courage and the general brevity of life…amongst other things wakes you up.
I think it was Oliver Wendell Holmes who said; ‘The human mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”
What a great line.
