Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This

Ever feel like throwing your pics in here...

...and then tossing your camera in here?

Totally understand. Sometimes the mojo just isn't working. You're clicking pics, but the pics aren't clicking. There's a disturbance in the Force, Jupiter isn't aligned with Mars, and you're having one of those Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad pic days. (sigh) It's okay. We've all been there.

Now, you'd think that any time spent Blitzing is going to be a good time. And usually it is a crazy good time, rivalled only by happy hour at an all-you-can-eat ice cream bar. BUT, there are rare occasions when it isn't. There are times it is only crazy good when compared to undergoing a root canal or stepping in the doggy doo of a St. Bernard. Not really bueno. So, when this malaise (French for "blahs") messes with your Blitzosity, what do you do? What do you do?

Hey! Let's ask Tina Turner. Tina?

“Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”

Thanks, Tina! Blitzers, there you have it. Get rid of anything that's bringing you down. Maybe go through those print and digital files and lose those pics that you never really liked. Just toss 'em. Now take a look at all those awesome pics you've got left, the ones that make you go, "Man, I'm good!" Then get your camera and...Wait! No, no, don't toss it in the lake! (That was close.) I was going to say, get your cleaning kit and make it shine. Bright lens for a clearer vision. Nice. Feeling better now, aren't ya? Oh, yeah. Now take that restored PhotoBlitz confidence and that sparkling camera back out there and go get 'em, tigers! Win one for the home team and Follow Your Blitz!

Hasta later.
