These types of pics do nothing for me. I've never even tried doing one - it's never interested me, and certainly not just because I got a digital camera. That's not to say that people shouldn't go ahead and experiment with digital, especially as it effectively costs nothing to shoot the pixels. If you're in the doldrums, consider this. What would you have done 10 years ago if you had reached the doldrums with film? Can you not just treat the digi as a film cam, in fact just consider it as a picture- making machine? If it's my turn to cook, and i really can't be arsed, I pull a Keith Floyd (once famous British TV chef) video off the shelf and watch him prepare rabbit or fish and after just 30 minutes, I am cured! I zoom off to the kitchen and away I go. If I ever reach the photo-doldrums, I pull out one of my Jeanloup Sieff books and rifle through it for an hour, and I am cured. That doesn't happen so often now. I tend to be one of life's observers first, photographer second. I find it helps.
