photographic diversity through repetition

in general

I’ve been feeling in a photographic rut lately. It seems like all of my photos look the same. They’re of the same thing. They’re all of things I’ve photographed before. Same. Similar. Again. Repeat. Done it. been there. Oh, that again. Gottit…

I just popped onto the Photography tab of my blog, and it hit me – although things feel strongly similar, there is variation and diversity. And sometimes repetition of similar photographs and subjects tells a story in and of itself.

If your in a rut you might want to check out http://www.dpchallenge.com if you haven’t before. Each week they have a new photo challenge and the photos are voted on by the community. The awards are “ribbons”. It’s fun, and even if you don’t participate (I haven’t in over a year) the photos are interesting to look at to see how people interpreted the challenge.

Good to know even the best feel this way. I’m losing momentum but I’ll take a second at my work thanks to you.
