For every up there is usually a down. I had a couple really good weeks of shooting but that seems to have come to an end. That’s okay. Time to reassess and get excited again.

I’m sticking to this 365 thing out of principle. I’m about halfway through, so I feel like i should finish it out, but I think this will be the last time I do that. The previous 365 I did was substantially more educational. I have gotten a few good images this time around that I would probably not have gotten if I weren’t forced to shoot every day, but I think that overall this is not productive.

So. Where does that leave me?

I took some photos of Abby and Natalie climbing and I hate every single one. I felt like they weren’t turning out exactly how i want them while i was shooting, but did nothing to fix it. I don’t know if it was over confidence, or if i felt lazy, but they are garbage. There are 2 photos that I like from the set. The first one is out of focus.

almost a good photo

But the second one is good, i think.

I think that leaves me with no choice but to be positive about this whole thing. Don’t get lazy and keep trying to improve even when I feel burnt out.
