Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to see the Blue Angels. It was a great show with many different types of airplanes. I of course had my camera along and I found that I was out of my element. Airplanes are not my thing. I quickly began to realize I had no idea what to do or what to shoot and it was kind of exciting. It was a perfect opportunity to expand my horizons. As the day went on I began to find more creative ideas coming. Being in an environment that is strange and new can pose a lot of challenges and unknowns and it can also bring about an opportunity for growth. I had no trouble filling up a 4 gb card with pictures and I found it all rather enjoyable. I think that it is good to find yourself out of your element. It causes you to have to make a choice of either making the best and moving forward or shrinking back and wondering what could have been. Sometimes its good to put yourself in a place where you are out of your element to encourage growth. I discovered that when you are in that position you begin to pull on creativity and soon you find yourself with ideas that flow.
Dont have any ideas, get out of your element and they will have to come!
until next time
