Inspiration

So I found my inspiration again.... I was beginning to get a little worried there to be honest!
.
I found it looking at this first picture, which is an entrance to a massive apartment complex which is a world unto itself.... indoor gym, tennis courts, restaurant!
I then realised that I hadn't lost the inspiration at all, I had just forgotten how I normally look at the world.
As I am always looking for what would be a good picture, I started second guessing myself ie: 'oh, nobody wants to see that, nobody wants to have a look at a photo of something like this' and that's when I remembered it's not necessarily the subject matter (after all these are just planks of wood/and metal bars) but the way I actually see the subject matter and this is what I like to show people and what people want to see from me - the way I view the world.
I then spent the rest of the weekend, looking through the camera the way I look at things....

Thank god the inspiration dawned on me again..... normal mundane, everyday things, captured the 'pasky jr' way....
.
Glad that's over, that was a scary couple of seconds!
.
Here's to looking at the world through your own eye's and not looking at it the way everyone else thinks you should.
