“I’ve lost my photo passion!”
I hear from many photographers that burn out creatively:
• Their will to shoot has waned.
• Creativity has disappeared.
• They’re ready to sell their equipment!

There are many remedies.
One is to take a break! Everybody needs a holiday.
Another is to look for inspiration.

And this month we look at our reader’s new suggestions for inspiration on the web. A big thanks to our readers for continuing to send links that inspire and engage, creatively.

Creative wanderings are important! – this month our online members are challenged to produce photos in a small, defined, boring space. Through exploration and wanderings, ideas develop based on surroundings and “idea switches” – elements that trigger creative ideas!

Homework
Take some time for creative play and wonder – it’ll open new worlds

Final Frame
Wander…
Take photos.
Have Fun.
