Inactivity is a bitch.

I think it's time to do that thing again. A photo a day.
Will it turn into a 365? Will it last a couple of days, a week? I'm not sure, but I need to do something. I've sort of fallen out of sync with myself, as weird as that sounds. I just don't want to take photographs. Actually, I still take a few on my phone, usually when I have to walk the mile or two home from somewhere.

I'm not sure I'll post all the daily ones here, as I know some will be utter junk, but I'll kick open a tumblr blog. Might make use of my Flickr? Dunno. Any that I'm genuinely pleased with will go up here.
I'll start tomorrow anyway. New week, new day. New photo.
Hopefully.

"Even though I don't know where your head is at most of the time, you come up with the wackiest ideas."

A girl of a previous photography course said this to me, and it made me think about where my ideas actually come from. Though, honestly, I was stood on a chair over a few hundred multicoloured dice and being murdered by two studio lights when she said it to me.
But where do I come up with the basis for my work, my ideas? I really don't know. It just happens. If you ask me what I was thinking when I took a particular photo, I'd seriously say 'Nothing at all.', because I go into a 'zone'. I'm sure any artist, any person who has something that they just get sucked into, knows that zone. When you're in it, it's just you, your tools and a ton of possibilities that just speak to you. I don't think verbally when I take photos, though I'm not sure I really ever think verbally, but it's a process that just happens.

I like what I do. It's more than a hobby. It's more than passing a class in university. It'll probably be more than a job when and if I ever get to that point. My photography is my passion, my life. If I ever cannot pick up my camera and do what I do, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Sorry, just felt like typing.
