Inspiration ……where to find it?
A new year brings a fresh energy for creativity and to embrace inexperience….Or so the plan goes!
Photographs bring about a mix of emotions. They are our visual link to the past, the memories of bygone days. Remembering friends, family and places once known and visited.
Everyone has their favourite photo whether it’s that never ending mountainous landscape or that snap shot of you and your Mama laughing together at your sisters wedding. They capture those special moments you never want to forget.

They also set out to inspire. A good photographer can tell a complete story through one click of the lens. A photo detailing the suffering of people at the hand of natural disasters makes you want to help. A picture of a group of friends seemingly having the time of their lives makes you want to get in touch with those you haven’t seen for a while. A shot of a climber on what appears to be a blank rock face makes you want to become a better climber; to push yourself beyond your comfortable limits….or is that just me?
New experiences can change the various winding paths of your life and open up opportunities you never thought possible. Finding the inspiration for these new experiences can start with a single photograph.
Not quite sure what happened there, it all got a bit deep and meaningful………sorry. But what ever your thoughts, remember that photographs are more that just a picture!
