I can't tell you how happy I am in a white room. There is something so calming and "fresh slate" feeling about it. The room was painted by the previous owners a dark, dark gold with dark brown trim and dark brown painted floors. Uggg!
I can sit and bemoan a loss of creativity, and fail to take my camera with me everywhere I go, or I can make the effort to start taking photos again. And so, this morning, I have, taking my trusty little Canon M100 and pancake lens, which makes me wonder whether or not the big camera will ever realistically come out again, save for if I get back into more strobist style shots.
This morning, therefore is a homage to the commute, and possibly a bit of additional exploration around New Street Station and, unusually, a short video. Yesterday was Cat’s dad’s birthday and, in the evening, we were looking through her nan’s old photo albums which her aunt had lent to us. Naturally some photos predated 35mm film, but the vast majority were clearly from more point and shoot style film cameras.
Yes, the fashion and style, from a modern perspective, appears to be incredibly dated and unfashionable, but people seem to be having more genuine fun in the past; less of the duck face pouting and posed photos. We also wondered whether the fact that you would, literally, point and shoot, had more to do with the honest nature of the photos.
Despite their names, modern point and shoots are nothing of the sort, waiting for the lens to extricate itself from its contortionist home within the body, the on-board computer to fire up and lock focus, before inevitably the person moves and you need to reshoot. Under the bed I have a plethora of photos from college, all taken on disposable camera, that whilst lacking in technical quality have a degree of more meaning for it.
My new, smaller, camera is a bit more honest to these older times, especially when it has a prime lens on it. Having previously put the time in to develop a black and white photo style that works for me, maybe it’s time to get back into a more spontaneous type of photography and use automatic mode and just straight to jpeg. If, or course, I can bear the lack of control…
Are you using all your creative potential. For my final major project, I am looking at how creativity is attained, retained and ultimately lost.
What do you think?

Just sitting in a picturesque and possibly ironic manner, cool and self-possessed. (a satire in white?) The fan added that extra touch of jaded elegance that for me made the difference.
After Friday night drinks... (I think it's a new member of our team or maybe I just have to buy another for the lunchroom at work...)
I discovered this book because of... flickr =)
It's cool because there's an instruction on every page what you should do with it. Sounds like huge fun!!

I started using a vector illustration app called inkpad recently, and
so far, like what I see. Drawing with vectors is more like building a
sculpture than sketching something, but I like how crisp the results
end up. I don't spend that much time at a traditional computer
anymore, so when a great creative app comes out for the iPad (from a
proven developer) I am excited to try it out. I look forward to some
more features, like path joining and merging shapes, and expanding
text into editable paths.
