The question means you probably still care about it, and you enjoy the process. Maybe keep going and the question will answer itself. Also, good shit!

That’s true Li. I do care about it and enjoy it. I was just lacking that joy in the final results for a while. Luckily the last week or so has seen this feeling get a bit better. I just needed a short break from work and the daily grind to get me inspired a bit again.

Part of you clearly cares still, the intention in what you share shows Papi G.

This set, all bangers

Thanks man. Certainly have a bit of love for it still in me. I just been having to fish a little harder to get to it.

Your post has three photos that brought giddy smiles to my face -- manequins/fish/dolls -- and several that demand great respect. Isn't that enough of an answer to your question?

George's avatar

Thanks Mark. That is a good answer. I got a chance to spend some time at an excellent Martin Parr exhibition in Seoul. I was there for 3 hours and spent 2 of those hours just sitting with his books. As I walked and flipped through I found myself smiling a lot because I could see parts of my past in many of those photos. Also, some just made me smile regardless.

For everything a season. Take this downtime into another direction, don't fight the lack you are feeling. See where it leads you

Certainly what I’m trying to do. Have gotten a few things planned that could be cool. Stuff that has been tucked away in the idea bank for a few years.

I agree with Li Chen. If you weren’t feeling so strongly, it would probably be time to hang it up… oh, that and the fact that the photos make me happy :)

George's avatar

Thanks Scott. I was certainly in a place where that was feeling. Thankfully this post was written and scheduled a over a month ago and the feelings have eased a bit since then and I’ve gotten out shooting. Even shot a few frames that I felt okay with.

i don't have the answer for you, you have to find it yourself. matters or not i like the selection of photos

George's avatar

Thanks. That’s true and it does matter. Fortunately this post was one that was written over a month ago and scheduled so the feelings have come around a bit lately.
