If you don’t feel inspired by your subject matter, maybe you’ve outgrown it. Perhaps you need to move the goalposts farther out to challenge yourself. Or maybe, it’s time to pass the torch.
I recently returned from DragonCon in Atlanta, where I questioned my own motivations for taking photos. Although I was carrying a lot of camera gear, I discovered I wasn't inspired to use it.

Getting (literally) knocked out of a rut
It’s easy to get jaded after doing something for decades, months or even days. Then something unexpected happens. Sometimes a routine photo assignment turns out to be much more memorable – and maybe a little painful!
Where do all the photos Gogh?
