As a photographer, it’s easy to be motivated and focused one day, completely burnt out, and lacking motivation the next. Photography is a lot of work, both physically and mentally. Although it’s not the most physically demanding thing you can do, you still need to be motivated to plan it and do it.

Sometimes, I feel motivated to photograph with every chance I have. Other times, and this is especially true in the winter, my motivation declines as the bad weather, sometimes bitter wind chill, and overall inconvenience of going out to shoot take over, and nothing is captured. Taking each opportunity to photograph is essential as it will help with the progression and improvement of photography and the enjoyment of doing so.
