Stagnation
10 years ago
I haven't posted any photos in ages, and it's really started to get to me. There are many reasons why I haven't spent as much time on photography lately, not the least of which is getting a fursuit, but there's more to it than that. When I'm not suiting and I do take pictures, I don't post anything because nothing seems good enough anymore. I think this is probably something that happens to artists as well: you compare your output to other people who are better than you, or even to your own previous work that you particularly liked, and suddenly nothing seems up to par anymore. That sense of inadequacy leads to lack of inspiration, a lack of motivation, and before you know it, what once was a hobby you had to pull yourself away from becomes an insurmountable obstacle you can't bring yourself to tackle.
Anyway, that's lame, and it make you feel lame, so I'm gonna stop doing that. I have images I've wanted to post, and I'm going to make myself post them. My exposures may not be as perfect--nor my descriptions as poetic--as some things I've put up before, but it's better to share what I have than to let it while away on spinning rust never to see the light of day. I'm thinking I'll set a goal to post an image each day and see how that goes. I'll probably get busy sometimes and forget, but it's a start.

Also I had no idea you had a fursuit! Will you be at Anthrocon?
So far, I'm 2 for 2 though. We'll see how long I can keep it up. I need to get to some of those photos of you on the pier. The light wasn't in our favor that day, but they're still usable.
