I'm always searching for the "about" in an image...as contrasted to being an image "of" something, and I find adding more space in the frame adds a sense of place. FWIW best…jf

Thank you for this. I think that what is bothering me lately is that there is too little "about" going on. I am looking to express something rather than just post something technically nice or technically poor but of something that is interesting in-and-of-itself without my camera.

What has always worked for me is to imitate someone else's work that I enjoy. It gets my own creative wheels turning.

I will try that, thank you.

I say, (and maybe you already do this), take your camera everywhere with you, and try not to "plan" what you're going to shoot. Just shoot when you feel like it. Or take a break from shooting and come back to it fresh.

I do take my camera all over and plan very little (that's probably obvious), but I find it hard to avoid shooting the same things again and again. If I go on a trip someplace different, I tend to be disappointed with what I come home with. I think there are extremes of "look at this cool thing I saw" and "look how cool I think this mundane thing is" that I fall into and neither sits quite well with me.

I feel the same way with my work most of the time,but I´ve learned to accept it,I wish I could improve somehow into what I wish my work would be,and it´s work like yours what inspires me in different ways,keep it up and don´t think,just shoot!

Thank you. Thinking is always my trouble. Maybe I am over-thinking the blogging more than the shooting.

Thank you Jerry for the beautiful postcard, it's a treasure and I love it!

Jerry's photography blog is 'ordinaryimages'.  His art is anything but ordinary so check it out if you aren't already following this great photographer. I love it because in each image he displays the beauty in the simple things in life and he is one of my tumblr favorites.

With a little wear and tear from the Pony Express, I received a beautiful post card from Jerry Freeman. If you are not familiar with his art, please take a moment to view his Tumblr at ordinaryimages Thanks Jerry
