one a week... at least.

I've been struggling with the photographers equivalent of writers block, the only way through this is to keep taking photographs. This block is not helped by having too many camera's, so instead of simply picking up one camera and going out to photograph I have to think, which will be best and for the moment i am persisting using my newly acquired Hasselblad 501. Its like anything, I'm sure. Its just a label and i was sucked in to buying but now i've got it i compare it to images i took using a Yashica-D TLR and these have more contrast in the colours and a sharpness that the hasselblad seems to lack?! I look at other peoples work using Hasselblads and a similar film stock (Pieter Hugo, Michal Chelbin http://www.pieterhugo.com/the-hyena-other-men/ //www.michalchelbin.com/ http://www.viktoriart.com/.... and so on ) Obviously, these photographer are in another league to me and its the light and the moment that makes all good photographs what they are.... I've loaded up my old yashica and I'll see if it is as good as i remember, maybe it just feels right to me and lets me see things differently to when i've got the weight of expectation using a prestige camera like a Hasselblad.

So from now on i'll endeavor to post at least one picture a week that I'm pleased with. As a start to getting busy and motivated towards the last year of my degree. We'll see what happens.. For now here's a couple of images I took the other night wondering around my new home town of par, some have light trails in which was not intentional and i know they are cheesy but i like the photo's so who cares.
