creativity killer

Time stiffles creativity. tonight I looked through some of my favorite travel pictures to get inspired for my trip to Peru on friday. Sometimes my lack of time prevents me from reaching my full potential with my shots. They become nominal.
A while back I tried to do a 365 series, which is a self-portrait of sorts per day for 365 days. I got to like... 30 days in and quit cause life got to be too much.
I'm going to start over friday when we go to Peru though and this time I'm going to finish even if i don't get a picture a day posted. It stretches me to be more creative, to find more ways to represent myself than a simple portrait.
I've near abandoned painting these days so I better make my medium of choice (photography) really worth it. I can't give it total blame, but my lack of time creates a mental barrier... and sometimes I just stop looking and so I don't see the world around me. ... and thats when you end up with nominal work.

Like i said, we're going to Peru friday. Lima, Cusco, Macchu Picchu (i actually don't know how to spell that still, its kinda like mississippi.)
I realize I failed to communicate properly over the past little while. I'm not very steadfast in my posting. I'd say i'll get better but we all know it's a lie. However I will promise to come back and post at least one good travel story. scouts honor.

Good things are worth waiting for... but don't hold your breath.

hasta luego.
