Bootstrapping - motivating yourself to take pictures

Ever so often I go through a period where I don't feel like taking photographs. Sometimes for no reason, or sometimes some minor set-back justs puts me right off.

One way of breaking this hiatus is to get some new gear, a new googah to inspire. This way leads to an empty wallet and a cupboard full of dust catchers.

Another way is to look at other people's photographs, any photographs. Inspiration inevitably follows.

The best way for me is to go to that cupboard of dust catchers and choose any camera and lens, especially one that hasn't been used in a while and set a target to shot a set number of photographs of anything in the next week.
