I should spend some more time alone. This weekend has pretty much been non-eventful for me. I decided to stay home for various reasons and just before the actual weekend arrived, Friday to be exact, I headed off to Office Depot and bought a blank note book to jot down whatever photo ideas that came to mind to keep myself from going insane due to not going out.
Saturday arrives and I put on my headphones and turn on my iPod and start playing every song on there starting with the letter A. Every song that brought on an idea for a photo, I put pen into paper and let my brain be and get creative as it can and I've got to tell you, there were instances where the I could not stop writing. So much so that my hand began to hurt after awhile.
It has only been one day and I've already completed 7 pages, front and back, with various photo ideas inspired mostly by songs that played and some by way of other forms. Whatever was flashed on the TV screen, random objects in my house...
On one hand, I wanted to go out and with that in mind, my weekend was somewhat of a waste but I got a lot accomplished. In the past, my photo ideas would just come randomly and few and far between but by just listening to music all day and coming up with ideas, I was a bit amazed at what my imagination could come up with. End arrogance. But really, never really felt I was really creative until Saturday night. I plan on having more of these hermit nights if it means coming up with more fresh ideas.
Now, to take these ideas and put them in front of my lens...
