Mine was a fairly new chair made to look old, but I was encouraged to sell it in a garage sale when we moved...huge regret! It was a fabulous whitish with blue crackle...I wasn't into photography at the time. Of course I look back now at all the things I wish I hadn't let go, or all the things from my grandma's basement I didn't know I would "need"! I've realized that my inspiration though, usually has something to do with my just showing up! :) Your photos are beautiful!Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-60842830101395444822013-07-16T16:45:00.275-07:002013-07-16T16:45:00.275-07:00you and your chair! you really oughta start a fan ...you and your chair! you really oughta start a fan club for it, kelly. ; ) lovely photos as always!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049463440095119744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-82339222761023574202013-07-16T15:54:29.566-07:002013-07-16T15:54:29.566-07:00That old chair is to die for!

Like so many have mentioned above, keep showing up. Just keep shooting. We all get in those ruts, and sometimes they can last a long time.

I hate the ruts but one of the best pieces of advice I heard (via one of Kim's classes) was from Steven Pressfield - just keep showing up and doing the work. It really DOES work, even though you don't always feel like showing up. :)Becshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277433980891380143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-31876716774771266992013-07-16T09:42:28.721-07:002013-07-16T09:42:28.721-07:00The perfect chair.

Having fun and not taking this hobby too seriously keeps the joy alive. It's easy for me to feel uninspired with the heat we have in the summer but yesterday I went back to Butterfly Wonderland and had a few hours of fun shooting those gorgeous creatures. Getting out with my camera, no matter where it is, never ceases to inspire me!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-58031409362059962772013-07-16T07:52:29.990-07:002013-07-16T07:52:29.990-07:00Incredible find and true words of encouragement. ...Incredible find and true words of encouragement.

They're nostalgic to me and I love nostalgia! To get out of my rut, I switched to my 50mm lens and began seeking a daily image based on light. I've always know light makes the photo, but this is the first time I've actively looked for the light first!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.com
