I'm still in the "buying new gear tended to help" stage. If I go to the camera shop and buy something, it tends to inspire me to use it and other stuff I haven't used in a while. Last time I bought a K50 1.2, and it inspired me to take it to some theatre for some low light photog. The time before that I bought the book "Adobe Photoshop for Photographers". Or take someone else to buy some gear. Last week my brother bought a canon 300D :(, and I took him to the camera shop to upgrade from the crappy kit lens it came with. I helped him learn some basics that day. His enthuthiasm spilled ver to me and inspired me to take more pics.

I'm interested in what my learned members of PDML do when they've hit the dreaded photo doldrums. I still look at interesting photos (btw, I love the two sexy dance photos, Frank), but feel no inclination to take any. Used to be, buying new gear tended to help. Different equipment meant learning new ways, plus the retail therapy bonus. But I didn't even make a bid for Rob's MZ-S <sigh>. New subjects? That would be good too, but nothing has caught my eye recently. Seems all I'm doing these days is just scanning old negs and mucking around with Photoshop. Haven't posted to PUG for months.


So what's the medicine, kids?
