Project Inspiration

Do you start projects and then get distracted or too busy to finish them? I have so many ideas for photography projects some of them never get started and few have reached a point where I feel like I’m finished.

I’d planned to work on one of my projects this week, but have changed course since my dog was injured Monday. I’m spending the week watching him and telling him not to chew on the bandages. I usually let him out to run on a steep fenced acre. Now, I am taking him out on a lead to walk around and take care of business. It’s hard to keep the bandages clean on the dusty road. And I was planning on camping and photographing near my favorite hot springs this week!

Oh well, I’ve got loads of other projects around the house to finish, so perhaps I’ll work on one of those this week and have a project to write about soon. But it won’t be the dog – he doesn’t like to be photographed. When he sees the camera, he wilts. When he sees his lead, he wags.

Photographer Howard Grill’s announcement of Nature Photography magazine’s publication of his Twin Jewels Project on two parks near his home in western PA has inspired me to go back to work on some of my photography projects. Click here for all of Howard’s posts on his Twin Jewels Photography Project.

Howard is planning to do something more with his many photographs (the mag chose 5 for publication) from the project and he’s soliciting ideas from his readership. You may want to congratulate his success in comments and offer your project ideas for his Twin Jewels photographs.

    Lovely.

    Sorry for the pooch, we love them so! And I also have unfinished projects tugging at my mind, I wonder if they steal energy?

    Thanks for visiting my site so often! I was a little slow with your comment this time, booo.

    And I’m going to look for something prettier than a clothes hangar for you! (teehee)

    Thanks, Melissa.

    I love to visit your blog and find out what’s new in your world, so different from mine. I like to imagine you underwater with your awesome corals.

    You’re right, we love them so, my children say I love my dog more than them.

    I usually try to keep my fancy hanger out of the photos. May not be beautiful, but quite versatile, I can bend to the length or shape I want and if a bear comes along and rips it down I can simply bend me another!

    Con…just found your blog thanks to a neighbor, Mary Cash. I’m in eastern Nebraska, but my soul’s home is in Colorado, so I’m loving your pictures because they take me there in spirit. We live on a lake, so we have lots of wildlife as well, and your closeups are fascinating to me!
    Sending lots of healing energy to the dog….and wishes for you to find time to get back to those projects! I’ll visit your blog often…
    Carol W.
