Inspiration always finds me, never the other way around. Is it that way with you?
Lately, life has been a long series of challenges. Today is a rare day with no commitments and it is raining lightly, thankfully. As I pace back and forth looking out the windows, I can not make sense of what I should do. Digital MF is always ready to go. 503cxi is loaded with Velvia 50. Black and white film loaded in the Baby Rolleiflex and the 35mm cameras remain loaded and ready for anything.
But ready for what?
Sure, I have a million things I should do... house maintenance, car maintenance, film to be developed and scanned, portfolio to work on, badly needed exercise to be resumed, books to be read, paperwork to do, clean house, laundry.... the list is endless. But I am exhausted and the lack of sleep continues to take its toll... my creative ability seems to be dormant at the moment. The spark is gone. Or maybe I should say that the lull is a time of regeneration for the next period of creativity. But it is hard sometimes to be still.
I have spent a few hours this morning listening to Music from the Renaissance (Tallis Scholars, Anonymous 4), for relaxation. There is something calming about that... but I need to get the day going.
So, I turn to you.
What are you MFD folks doing today?
