I do not typically make it a habit to point to someone else's blog. However, with posts like this one from Bill Fortney how can I not? If you read one photographic blog this year, click on the link below and read.

Recently, I have gone through a low point in photographic inspiration. Yes, I admit it openly. I have reached out to professionals who's work I admire for advice. There answer is almost always the same and it involves one recurring word. "Work"... We have to work to be inspired. We have to work to get better. We have to get out and shoot and we need to shoot what we love!
Mr. Fortney has put it plain and simple on his recent blog post and this may be one of the best photographic blogs ever written.
Mr. Fortney, I know you don't read my blog but I would like to extend a thank you for your words, your devotion (to photography and to Christ), and your photographic work. You are truely and inspiration!
Great article! I think it's quite applicable to most any interest you choose, as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteReading it alone helps with inspiration but it also lets me know that to stay inspired and to improve I have to get off my couch!
