Once in a while I just get in a mood where I don't really want to get out and take pictures. I still enjoy it. I would describe it more like a writers block. Nothing really seems new an exciting to the point that you can't wait to see what shows up when the negs come out of the soup.

Anyone else run into this and what did you do to get rid of it?

Hi Mark !
I you're stuck, unable to take new picts, go to the old one.
When I'm in the same mood as you, I open my set of contacts, and look through them. I often find one or two, unprinted, and print them.
Sometimes, they gave me ideas on how to take a new pict. like the old one, but this time without this or with that....
Another lead is to try a new piece of equipment (it does not need to be yours, try something rented or borrowed from a friend). It puts the works into it's path again !
Hope this helps

I have a very old 4x5 view camera I haven't played with in a while, and would like to but its just so awkward to use anywhere but at the house. I admit I am a bit of a tinkerer and equipment does interest me, but its always for me secondary. I have a couple of cameras that are as old as I am and I my age thats saying something will all the gray hair. People that know me know why I have it grin.

Its subject matter that gets me in the funk. I get tired of the same old same old. Lately I have been more interested in people, but models get expensive and I don't want to be the guy that annoys his friends with a camera. lol Fall usually helps. It passes or at least it always has in the past. Funny what triggers a new direction. In the past its been anything from just a landscape that I just happened upon, to what I call the lucky photo. Bored, totally uninspired and half thinking you get lucky and get one good one. Lo and behold its back to work again.
