Lack of Substance

I need to go shooting. I was going through my portfolio picking out pieces to have printed for my office at work. I wanted to be able to glance at them and be reminded of the whole reason I come into work everyday - art school. I just wasn't very impressed. I mean yes I do have a lot of editorial work however I just feel like all of my pieces were paid for and due to that lacking in creativity. I think if my husband is up to it I may venture downtown tonight to get some city nightshots in. I need an infusion, I need to get out and take photos.

Tomorrow I am credentialed for the Rapids game (Colorado Pro Soccer Team). I have not shot them before and have not shot soccer period since getting my new camera. I am really looking forward to it. I think this will really expand my portfolio in this area. I worked so much last summer taking photos of club soccer and never got to keep any of my photos. The only soccer photos I have in my portfolio are from early on with the paper before I think I got the hang of it. They aren't bad per say just not spectacular which is what I strive for.

Following soccer is a birthday party for a friend of mine. I will be bringing my camera to this as well to brush up on my candid party captures. I think it will come in handy for my wedding photography....

Back to work...need to stop dreaming about photography and finish out the workweek. Only 45 minutes to go!
