I need to take more pictures.

Pictures make me happy and everyone could use a boost of happiness once in a while.  I have a wonderful assortment of cameras that just sit on my shelf and gather dust.  I think getting out more and enjoying what I have around me more would help me de-stress and learn to slow down.  Having a snapshot of a moment to look at once in a while is quite therapeutic.  Thats why I love hanging my pictures close to where I sleep.

They're a constant reminder of the beautiful things that surround me.  I am truly a lucky lady.

6 Cameras deep

I now have a whopping total of 6 cameras.  I'd say thats pretty impressive for the average photographer. I feel lost though.

For the amount of cameras I have, I hardly take any photos and I can't really figure out why. I find myself only wanting to use my "fun" cameras for SUPER rare occasions. And it seems like nothing qualifies as "SUPER rare."

I am trying too hard. Consequently I am not taking any pictures at all. So, am I even trying?

I think I feel too pressured to produce good photos, especially when I use a Polaroid.  The pressure is seriously high now that a single pack of film costs upwards of $25 bucks.  Shit.

My goal for this summer is to open up and try to see the world with a new lens, one that isn't just seeking out cliche candid moments to turn into a print.  Nature is always beautiful so I will begin this new journey of "not trying to hard," there.  See you soon.
