A few years back I wrote about how my professional and artistic life complemented each other in writing. At that time my career involved a lot of writing and I found it very easy to create blog posts, project statements and other photographic texts because I was used to expressing my thoughts in written words.
Now that I have evolved into a “post career lifestyle” I no longer have a professional requirement to create a lot of text. My blog requires new content on a weekly basis, plus a reach back to earlier posts on each Thursday. It is getting more difficult to push the rock because I don’t have the convenience (?) of a career to exercise my writing skills.
Over the next couple of months I will be out and about and as a result I had to “get ahead” of the blogging requirements by preparing a month or two of new material. It was not as daunting a task as I originally thought because once I began “thinking photographically” the new topics miraculously appeared.
The lesson learned is to keep thinking and the topics and ideas will appear.
