The state of my photography...

I miss taking portraits. Over the last one year, my body of work has shrunk tremendously. As I try to understand why, I realize that the main reason was a lack of desire. I have come up with lots of excuses- too much work, not enough time, not inspired, no interesting subject. Sort of like the same excuses I would use to justify the lack of entries on my blog. Life in terms of work has been tremendously rewarding though so I actually have no excuses. I miss the human connection that portraiture work gave me. I miss the challenge of getting the subject at ease with me so that I can capture their essence of who they really are. I miss the exhilaration when at look at the monitor and more so when I print the portraits. I miss the look of amazement when somebody gets a chance to look at my work. Because of this, I feel a stirring in me and am now itching to get back behind the lens and implication, this blog..... 2 swans and a tourist Bukit Tinggi, 2010 Leica M8.2 50mm F/1.1 Nokton
