Where has my photography mojo gone?
29th January 2025
It is very handy that Lightroom Classic stores various statistics relating to your image files making it easy to keep track of all sorts of things. The most obvious is the total number of images you have stored in your catalogue. This can then be broken down into the number of images you have downloaded in a certain period.
One thing it has helped to confirm is that in 2024 I had only taken half the number of images that I have done in previous years. And I’m not really sure why.
I certainly haven’t lost interest in photography. I do seem to have lost the impetus to take photographs.
One thing that I can identify as a contributing factor is quite simple really, I’ve been doing other things. I have resurrected my woodworking hobby having spent time clearing my garage to create a useable workshop.
Also, I’ve been trying to get back into painting, watercolours in particular. And these things take time and there’s only so many hours in a day!
So how do I get my mojo back? Well, common advice seems to be to set yourself a project and I have a few ideas. The next thing is to make a start and get my hands on my cameras!
I’ll report on my progress in the next blog post!
