Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow up in a home where there was no electronic devices of any kind... or to raise children in such a home? Back in the early 60's when most families were purchasing their first television set, my father said..."it is a waste of time to sit and watch TV. You can do better things with your time." I became an avid reader, and also became adept at finding things to do and collecting projects. Which over time has caused it's own set of issues.....like not being able to focus on any one thing and say "This is what I do" There are just so many things that can capture my attention and make me loose all track of time. If someone could just tell me where the "make it fit" button is located.
A helpful suggestion from a photography instructor was to keep and "Idea Notebook". It doesn't have to be anything special... just a simple spiral bound with 50 or so pages. When thoughts come that would make great shots, or places to go etc... write the ideas down. Even though you can't get to it right away, the notebook is there to inspire, when you suddenly discover you have an extra hour or 2.
Here is a shot from equipment at a construction site.... Free to download and overlay with other images to create something interesting.....
