Strength. by naomi

Strength.

I've had some lovely texts/messages from people today. I'm so lucky to have the amount of support around me that I do. People can be amazing sometimes.

I'm feeling rather disconnected from this site at the moment and it's a little demotivating. It's not the fault of anybody, the same happened last year, it's just how it is. There are so many new people and I just can't keep up with even flicking through the topics posted on the discussion boards at the moment because there seems to be a new discussion popping up every 5 minutes and I don't spend my day in front of the computer... Not to mention even beginning to look through any photos... :/
Really love the lighting on this. =)

A clever subject and lovely composition. Hope you begin to feel connected again soon.

Great strong green, Naomi! You have posted so many photos here and been around for more than two years... you have probably heard a lot of the same phrases and words over and over again. After a while it can become blasé. But I also see that you are doing the same type of shot over and over again. That might also be a source of demotivation. Change can be a good thing... as can thinking out of the box. I hope you can find a way of stimulating yourself into seeing things differently and under a new light if you are still into photography. Hope I haven't stepped out of line here... just trying to help.

It's interesting...I am feeling that same sort of overwhelming feeling with the site. I think it's just the time. It's new to some people, not to us. Perhaps, it will improve. I'm just trying to focus on the people that I follow, ignore the posts, and post my pictures. That takes up enough time. So...having said that, I like your image and it does show strength and you do as well.

Yes,it's a little strange.Some people with great photos till now are leaving because they've completed their 365 project and a lot are coming.
But they say change is good,don't they?

How about taking your camera to school, Naomi? Do studies of your friends and teachers... get some shots of the building inside (there must be rows of lockers, desks, etc. where you can play with perspective)... try for some abstract shots ( http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/10199/y2-challenge-abstract-household-items)...

good positioning, focus, and DoF. Haven't seen a portrait of your brother lately, how is he doing?

I have no time to read the discussions and some times even not time ore to tired from work to place a photo, but still feel at home here becouse it is oke and in my feeling it is all about the love of making and being busy whit photograpy.
So I hope for you Naomi that you can go whit that feeling and get the flow to go on, becouse I love you're photo's

I have had a hard time being motivated here as well. I'm glad you have a great support system at home. I hope you continue your project. Maybe you just need to take a few days, or more, off. I'll bet you'll miss it and want to come back! At least I hope...

nice one ...well your'e still posting pics after 738 great shots.

Lovely pic. I'm struggling for motivation too, though it's more life that's the problem for me than 365. Hope things brighten up for you soon.

Beautiful. And I know what you mean about the disconnect, I've felt it, too - but I do remember it passing last year so I'm trusting the same will happen this year.
