What’s Next?
September 23, 2015
I have completed one year’s worth of Wordless Wednesdays, and I am ready to look around for another project. The weekly exercise of making 12 photographic views of a subject was fun. Sometimes I had to stretch myself to find enough interesting perspectives, but usually I had little difficulty with coming up with 12 photos that I liked and wanted to share. Maybe I needed to set the bar higher — 20 or 50 views — to begin to break any creative barriers.
Digital photography makes taking multiple photos of a single image or theme quite easy. I think going forward I will remember not to settle for the first “easy” shots, but to keep on photographing from different angles and perspectives.
I’m not sure how much I’ve grown as a photographer this past year. I wonder why I think growth has to come from discomfort or stretching past habitual ways of doing things. I sometimes think that if I find photography easy or natural, then I must be settling for mediocre shots. Can creativity actually be easy?
