Only 400? I'll tell you what PAR tells the coke heads, "When you reach a 1000 a day, call me."
Seriously, this is an addiction that we should all be able to take advantage of. It's when you get to a dry spell and have no one to photograph, the squirrels are in hiding, the flowers aren't blooming and the butterflies are in their cocoons, the kids are all home, the grass is brown, there's no clouds in the sky, they've turned off the fountains for cleaning and you're reduced to taking pictures of asphalt (without the lines) ... THEN complain! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
OK! REALLY seriously! You feel compelled to shoot. <U>YOU</U> may feel that you're in a rut. <U>WE</U> think you're doing fine. Maybe "fine's" not enough!
Maybe it's time to put the camera down for a few hours/days/etc., take a walk in a park, along a beach, around downtown at lunchtime, to breath deeply, to take in everyday life, to reattach yourself to the world around you, to (as one of our members tag line says), "see what your photographing".
I, for one, really like the work you've been posting. But if you feel you're getting stale, then it's time to take a break, step back and examine what you're recording and it's impact on you.
This is all just my feeling, of course, but it's sincere. You gotta do whatcha gotta do.
