Mud.

I was going through one of my usual bouts of creative depression and struggled to come up with something I was really pleased with.

 

I ended up looking to shoot the sunset through some water I saw near my home in Regina, Saskatchewan.

 

I was looking to get as close to the water as I could but mud and soft sand was making it difficult. I saw a piece of foam I thought I would be able to use to distribute my weight across more surface area to hopefully get the shot I wanted.

 

As I stepped in to pick up the foam block, I sunk right down into the mud. It swallowed my shoe whole and i was stuck like this for about 15 minutes while Tashia helped me with an alternate solution.

 

So here I sat; one shoe, my camera, and my bad attitude. Tashia brought me my rubber boots, which I should have just worn in the first place, and I set out to get the shot I wanted.

 

Even with the boots, I ended up almost getting stuck in the muck. The mud made it past the height of the rubber boot and onto my pants. I ended up wiggling back and forth enough to finally get back to terra firma.

 

I didn't end up getting the shot I wanted, which makes it more frustrating, but I think it comes down to not forcing creativity.
