Out of Inspiration

Fri Nov 24, 2006, 12:22 PM
  • Mood: Gloomy
  • Listening to: Jack Nicklson - Le vein Rose

Blank is my mind, disturbed is my vision and lost is my creativity. For some reason or another I can't capture one decent picture any more. I feel I’ve lost it forever. Any picture I shoot recently has no sense, no feeling and no meaning and I am so not satisfied with the outcome. It is such a disturbing feeling, when you feel that you have just lost it. All the stuff I am posting are some of my old shots, I have taken the past couple of years. When I feel hopeless, I dig into those old folders to a picture in order to post. The feeling kills me the most when i see what kind of work I used to produce and what kind of useless boring work I ended up with now. I know some of you would say it is a phase every photographer and artist passed by from time to time, but with me I feel it is lasting and it is so depressing.

I think this post is all about what is disturbing and giving me this blue mood. Whenever I want to write my thoughts, poems, or anything else, it is difficult for me to write it down directly from my mind to the keyboard. I have to grab a pen & paper and at that exact moment my ideas and words will just flow down on the paper. I feel it is weird and awkward, I was the only one back at the university who writes her essays and papers first on papers then type them down. And since I had started writing poems, I can’t type, I have to write them.

Now I am wondering, Am I the only one or any one out there is experiencing the same phase and feel inspired writing and not typing?

P.S. & .. A7san Allah 3zakom dears.. Leallah ma a5ath o leallah ma a36a o kl shy 3ndeh bajal mosama.. Allah ey9aberkom ya rab.. :hug: :petting:

I want to apologize for not being around as before and for not replying everyone who had been commenting and faving my work for the past days and for my contacts who I haven't been commenting to your work.. You all pardon me I am living this out of inspiration phase where i feel so un-productive.

I believe its all related to when & where you want to shoot. Remember in ur old days U used to take ur cam everywhere, which i dont c it happening recently.

Lets just say its a phase and U ll b overcoming that soon. :)

Dear dovey,

U asked about the pen & typing thing; well, I was once a hand writing type of person. I used to write everything including (school essays and poem) on paper.

One day I had my mobile phone with me with no paper around; I had to put down that thought I had so it wouldn't be lost! So, you know what happened ! :)

Then I tried typing some poems from the scratch and I could !
I discovered it was easier and more organized that way :thumbnails:

and u know how I practiced?
I started making poems with my friend of the MSN Messenger !
I used to type a line and she would continue with a line of her own! :handshake:
of course with the same "Wazn & Qafiya" :)
It was just FUN :juggle:

If you r writing in Arabic and in the traditional style of poetry, this method would be excellent!

----

I hope everything goes well with u eventually. Don't worry; If you had it once you won't ever lose it !

I've seen a movie lately about a writer who used to puzzle readers with his excellent production and then when his wife dies he quits writing!

some one comes to his exile and makes him try and try till he realizes that, unlike what he thought, he still has the gift!

so he starts allover again! :)

I forgot the title of that movie though :confused:

I went thru that phase... and it lasted for almost a year!! Yeah you heard me.. a year!!
Its a pretty awful feeling but il7imdellah I managed to get over it...
The things that helped in bringing me back are:
- Waking earlier in the morning..
- convincing myself that I can do it once again (even at times when ppl thought that I lost it. HA HA to all of those who thought I lost it :P)
- geting myself outa the miserable mood.. Life is beautiful, stay awake (and hyper) for it!!
- going to new places (with the cam of course!!)
- viewing inspirational peices from other photographers/artists

just do what you love the most... you'll see yourself getting back gradually ;)

*hugs* I miss you... and I'm pissed off at ya as well!! (A)
