Uninspired Or Just Plain Frustrated?

I’ve been feeling very uninspired lately. Well, sort of. Maybe uninspired is the wrong word here.

Frustrated?

I can’t seem to make myself bring out the camera. I was doing good until the whole surgery thing. I was way too drugged up and in pain to be thinking about my camera and of course my photoblog has really suffered because of it.

It needs to be cleaned (the camera). I cleaned it about a month ago, but the sensor is already dusty again. This is why one should invest in a pro DSLR.

At the time that I bought my camera (Canon 30D) I was running a portrait and wedding photography studio and needed to upgrade from the 10D. I could have gotten a MarkII but I just couldn’t justify the price difference when I don’t need that much resolution really. Now I would have happily paid extra for the body. Living in west Texas just kills a digital camera.

I’ll be taking it to Odessa Camera next week. In the mean time I think I’ll start my own little project of using my wife’s point and shoot for a week or so. I guess until my camera gets out of the shop.

Yeah, I’ll make myself be creative using a good old point and shoot. It’ll remind me of some of the frustrations that some of my photo tips readers go through in honing their craft.
