Starting a post with some positivity is much more exciting and
interesting compared to a moan. I find a lot of people including myself can be
quite negative. We don't want to see ourselves fail and we complain about it
because we think that we will get some sympathy. On some scale, that is ok but
if we do it all the time and complain about the same things, it then gets
boring.
I can drift on a tangent quite often but I believe that you can
have transferable thoughts that can relate to any kind of interest and body of
work. It's life. Everyone loses motivation sometimes, particularly if a project
we are working on is falling behind, it can be easy to give up, sometimes we
just lose interest and want to work on a new project.
I came to writing this post wanting to be more true to myself and
to be more positive but in the back of my mind I was writing about how I was
going to give up my Hipstamatic 365 project, just because I had hit a few
stumble blocks. I have missed about a week in total and I thought to myself
that it wouldn't be a 365 project if I hadn't got 365 photos. So what?! I have
been trying to tell myself that every photo won't be fantastic and a work of
art but what I want to create at the end, won't matter if they are in such a
state. The fact is that I would have been more determined and carried on through the
rough moments that simply reflect life itself. Challenges are difficult, they
are not supposed to be easy and they acquire effort. For too long I have been
trying to skip round the effort pole just so I achieve things the easy way when
really I would feel like I would have achieved something more if I spent more
time on it. I need to get out there and take more photos rather than sitting
around hoping that these pictures will find me.
At the beginning of the year, my aims were take photos everyday of
the year and select the twelve best ones to present in a slideshow. I may still
do that, however I thought a large collage would be more exciting instead. This
project is about the bigger picture rather than the individual pictures that I
am living through.
Once you have achieved then you can celebrate.
And what a better way with my latest Hipstamatic photos and indulgences from the week before last.
