This is the Improved Photography Podcast episode 177.

Hey everybody, welcome in to an episode of Improved Photography.

I'm your host today Jeff Harmon. I'm filling in for

the infamous Jim Harmer and we are not the same person even though our names

sound so similar we're not the same person but I have with me today Larissa and Connor, who will have joined me for this

podcast episode. We have a lot of stuff we want to get to. We're going to start off with a few questions of the week. The first one comes from our

Facebook group from Michael Irwin who said I am a I'm in a rut I feel like I'm losing my

love for photography I just want to take my camera

everywhere with me like a little puppy but I don't end up taking any photos.

Any advice. What do you think, Connor? You know, personally, I would just say, you need to just suck it up.

If you have your camera with you, start taking a few shots.

Even if they're not going to be anything that you end up wanting, at least it'll get the juices flowing and

get you thinking about how to frame things and different things to start looking

for. I find that especially living in a beautiful city, people come here and

take lots of great photos and despite the fact that it's beautiful,

I feel uninspired all the time.

And then I take out my camera

and I'll start shooting some things and realize,

you know what, there's some really cool things around me here and it just happens

from opening up your eyes and taking a look around. I think that happens to a lot of us.

We think there's nothing to take a picture of it around this because we see it every single day in the place we live.

But there's lots of stuff to take pictures of.
