Lack Of Inspiration

     I constantly go through many "brain farts" when it comes to gathering ideas for photography. As of right now I am currently stuck and stressed. The pressure that finals have created for me is unbelievable. I technically have two weeks to work on my final portfolios and the thought of it makes my stomach hurt.
     However, whenever I feel this way I tend to take a trip down to the library or perhaps online to go back to those photographers that made me realize how much I really love what I am studying. They help me feel a bit better about my lack of creativity at times.
     As my professor, Mike, always tells me, "Don't put your eggs in one basket." He explains to me that I should shoot and not necessarily work towards an idea. The funny thing is that I keep a moleskine full of ideas and the exact executions I have for them. I feel more comfortable having an idea and working from that.
     Here are some pieces of work that inspire to continue without a single idea written on my little journal of thoughts:

Absense. Technical Portfolio. Finals.

First and foremost, I want to apologize for my absence. I have been terribly busy with school and it there doesn't seem to be calm seas ahead. However I wanted to update with everything I have been doing.Last week, we turned in a Technical Portfolio for Photo II. It pretty much includes everything we've worked on during this semester.

Apart from everything we've done, I had the pleasure of learning how to make fiber prints and to print in large scales (on 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 paper).

Anyway, here is some of the work. Remember, you can click it to make it bigger.
