Inspiration: As you can tell from my long absence, I have been on a sabbatical away from my camera for the past three weeks. Honestly, I needed a break. I cannot force the desire see through my lens. Either it's with me or it isn't . . . and it hasn't been there for a while. Hopefully my camera love is coming back . . .

Rest well. Everyone needs a break, or a little tai chi. I had about 6 months where I felt too harried to really "see". So any photographs I took had a dark, hurried tinge to it, reflecting how I felt. My dad also said he used to love taking photos until my mom got sick (and eventually passed). So it just shows that photography, like any art, needs a muse. We look forward to whenever you get your muse back! -- J xx

I can totally relate. Sometimes a break can re-ignite our passions. Take the time you need and I'm sure you'll find your way back to seeing things through your expert artistic eye:D

Like the others I can totally relate to this feeling. At the moment I rarely pick up my lomo, as much as I love it, currently it just doesn't feel like the right camera for me.
Fantastic picture. Have a great new week.

We all get tired sometimes... I'm sure the camera loves you, and you will love it back again. Your photos are always wonderful.
