Flipping Through Sketches

Often times, as almost every artist I know, I find myself in a creative slump.  Perhaps it’s the area that I live in.  Midland, TX doesn’t seem to inspire me as a contemporary photographer and that may have to do with me having grown up here, but it shouldn’t stop me.  Still… I find myself in a creative slump.

I don’t think I’ve taken my camera out in a couple weeks which is rare. 

Too many excuses.  Too little time.  Too many excuses.

But even when I don’t find myself capturing images, I still spend time looking at photographs.  Reading books on photography and art really helps me to cope with these down times. 

Currently reading (or rather flipping through): Sketches: Organizing Arts edited by Elizabeth Chodos + Kerry Schneider

Really enjoying so much about it.  It’s a great insight into the creative minds of arts administrators.  Sometimes I feel like I would be a better curator than an artist.  I guess I’m too hard on myself sometimes.

    It really must be tough for an art photographer out here, especially in the winter.

    This morning there were some interesting cloud formations up there, so it’s not completely hopeless.

    Good luck.
