Sign o' the Times.

For some reason, this story I'm try to write really feels like it's kicking my ass. I'm not really a believer in writer's block, per se, but for some reason I just can't crack the concept in such a way that it leads to a full length screenplay rather than a handful of shorts.
But when the creative urge comes over me, it doesn't care where it goes, but it needs to go somewhere. I guess since writing is getting me nowhere, the juice has decided to fuel a photography binge. In the past two weeks, I have taken in the neighborhood of 400 photographs – cityscapes, landscapes, artsy ones, lame ones. I'm fascinated by the landscapes the most, though.
Historically, I would never photograph something that didn't have a person in it. But lately, it's been the complete opposite. I guess people just don't seem that interesting to me anymore. Or maybe it's the people around here, since there were one or two pictures I took in Boston over Memorial Day weekend that were the old style me.
But, while it is very irritating not to be getting the results that I want writing-wise, I'm choosing to believe that all this picture taking will somehow pay off in the end. I really haven't a clue as to how it will pay off, but I'm choosing to have faith.

I am sure if I were there, you would abandon non-people photography all over again. :D
