It’s easy to get carried away— you’re bitten by the photography bug and before you know it you’re shooting every day. Problem is, you’re shooting the same subjects in the same places and making lots of virtually identical images. We’ve all seen it. The Flickr accounts full of flowers, sunsets, food, the girlfriend... if you find yourself stagnating as a photographer or if you feel a sense of dread when you leave the house holding a camera, leave the camera behind. Forget the fear of missing a photo. You won’t. And if you do, it’s not the end of the world. Spend some time with your family and friends (or alone, if you’re an introvert like me). Recharge, refocus, and you’ll be a better photographer with fresh eyes when you’re ready to shoot again.
