Guilty Photography
There’s an interesting phenomenon, as I rediscover some of my photography art books while unpacking in the new house:
I pick up and read a photo book. Maybe it’s one I haven’t read for a while, like my old pal Saul Leiter. And then this guilty feeling kicks in for not having made something in a few weeks.
Then, almost without fail, that guilt makes me pick up a camera and start snapping away. It doesn’t even matter what the subject is, just that I start making photos.
Call it “guilty photography” – it works!
The next time you’re in a creative rut, or feeling unmotivated to make photos, give guilty photography a try.
