You guys, I have to confess something:
I’m having a visual breakdown.
For the few past days I’ve been lying in bed, trying to cure that sneaky cold that has been working on me for way too long.
While doing that I was surfing the web, browsing through the latestet editorials, looking at photographer’s websites (already established and upcoming) and gathering ideas for the next year.
And you know what? I’m so sick of it.
It’s like there are only a couple of photographers out there. Everything looks just the same!
Is it because nobody realizes that or because nobody cares?
Oh, and don’t even start: of course I’m not the ultimate photographer who’s inventing a new photography. That’s not what I’m talking about. Nobody is.
But people tend to say photography is dead.
I don’t think it is and will ever be.
But it’s time to trust in its uniqueness and its ability to create something different.
I have found myself in the belief that I developed an unique style of taking pictures, maybe seeing the world, and I also have been told so.
And yet I’m struggling.
So there’s a wish I have for the next year:
stop taking the same pictures over and over and over again, make something consistent and take the risk to do and/or to be known for something you deeply care about.
And this is what I am aiming for.
