PSA: Delays

Dear anyone who keeps up with this blog,

You’ll probably have noticed that for the last three weeks, my activity on my Project 365 has been seriously lacking. There is a reason for that! Inspiration and the will and motivation to shoot is a very difficult thing to come by when life throws you far more lemons than you can catch and your arms are full of lemons from previous sessions.

If I’m going to be quite honest, there are several days when I haven’t actually been shooting – then there would be days when I’d have 50 available pics for use. I guess what I’m trying to say is that my Project 365’s original purpose – a photo a day, no matter how mundane – has been slowly becoming a ‘Just as long as you have 365 photos by the end of it’ project, which is not exactly what I have been aiming towards.

I’m at a bit of a loss as to how I’m going to proceed from here with three weeks photos due.

Suggestions?

(I’ve been inspired lately by Amanda Palmer to try a ‘Who Killed –’ kind of project, starring myself.)

Location: At Oxford today, my best friend and I went to have a pint & pub food at The Eagle and Child where JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis used to go regularly to discuss their writing and literature in general. They called themselves the ‘Inklings’ and have some memorabilia within the pub. It was absolutely inspiring.
