of clicker's block, introspection and more...


having strted out with a target of 101 clicks, one each day..n NOt having clicked anything for 5 daysssss!!!
n tht too at a time when a few wonderful bloggers drop in with inspiring comments..!

somethings wrong somewhere.....n a little introspection reveals it....
clicker's block: inability to click a photograph because something in your mind prevents you from doing it..!
something: an object ,situation or action which is not exactly known or stated..!
uhm.! tht explains it...now i need to move on....

hmm again thinking more abt it...like most blogs,am not sure if i strted this targeting an audience/invisisble audience in mind...
this gets me thinking abt writer's block too...tht blog i strted last november,saw only 3 or 4 posts in 2008...!
this journey,to satisfy the shutter bug in me, started on October 7,2008..,more for doing something purposeful, making each day count abt a passion tht needed revival...sort of a journey on self-discovery, and tht too had revised the target from 365 days to 101 days..!!..short term..!
5 days pit-stop in a 101 day journey is too much to ask for..!

having started out with te motto in mind, "click away..live it up..! each day..each moment", this lapse calls for some action plans/revisons/additons in the route map to 101 days!
1.excuse myself for not clicking every day, but should post a picture each day,including a set of pics for the past 5 days!
2.no posting pictures from archives, but can post for each day froma set of pics clicked after the day, not before!
3.include EXIF data for all pics...and details of editing done...
4.try not to pressurise myself for the clicks..let it just happen as n when it happens..!
5.come out with more natural clicks,reduce the post processing/editing to enhance pics..
6.self-learn,trial n error,try n try n make better clicks each time.
All said and done, one last thingy..
I have to agree that its the post processing done on the clicks tht gives it the extraordinary look it has!
Am not sure of a real/serious/pro photog's take on my attempts, coz i have seen a lot of amazing amateur photogs witha touch of genius..whose clicks inspire...!who don't require much of a digital darkroom to come out with amazing captures..!
I have this in ma mind(fora little of self-motivation):they indeed have a spark of genius n a vision of how best something can be framed as n when they click..! i click and then get a spark as how to display the object/thing better..!
This is where am rite now, hope each day brings in more self-realisation and lessons to learn.

Guess am gettin off with te writer's block now....gotta revive that passion too...
