I used to be a writer. I had aspirations of writing novels and hitting the New York Times Bestsellers list. I only wrote to novels, though. One was published, but didn't sell very well. Those are the breaks.

The connection between writing and photography is similar... at least in my mind. The common link is the block. With writing, it's Writer's Block. With Photography, it's... well, Photographer's Block, I guess.

This Photographer's Block does not stop me in all of my photographic work. Not at all. When it comes to weddings, the flow is all good. But that's mainly because the events are happening right before my eyes. All I need to do is capture the moment.

No, my Photographer's Block is in another field. It's the art photography. I haven't done the art side in quite some time. I'd like to think that I was good at it. With art, I loved bringing the photojournalistic aspect to them. I love the idea of a photo telling a story.

The way I normally fix this problem is with mini-vacations... I need to step away from the lens . Fortunately I have a break coming (in between weddings). I'm looking forward to a nice time away and regrouping.

... and I needed to vent. Thanks for listening. :-)

Cheers,
