This might just be me

^ Same here.

My whole family is in the oilfield and all they do is watch sports and drink beer. Not exactly the most artistic atmosphere to grow up in. lol

I trying to get back into school for a fine arts degree, but the funds won't allow it at the moment.

Ryan, I am talking about how your personality effects how you see the world around you.

Did you get my pm bitter?

Yes. If you want more than a four word answer, you have to give me more than four minutes to respond.

I find it MUCH easier to take good landscape/cityscape shots when not in my home town, i somewhat struggle with these shots in Lafayette, LA which is where im from. It's a pretty boring city for photography at least. I know GREAT shots can be captured here, but idk. I just find it much easier in places i'm not familiar with.

Can anyone relate to me?

I enjoy traveling to different locations but most of my photos are in my own backyard.

What I always wanted to do was put on my iPod and listen to some Coldplay and walk through downtown and shoot different subjects or better yet, landscapes that I felt emotionally. I feel that would be a good exercise to get out of complacement and stimulate your mind through new senses. Listen to your favorite artist and walk your favorite route. I think I may put that as a challenge one day.

That sounds like a WONDERFUL idea tbh. I wouldn't be listening to coldplay, but to each his own. Whatever type of music that generates emotion for you will do just fine.

When I am out shooting downtown, or any unfamiliar place, I never listen to music. I need to be totally aware of my surroundings.

But tell me:

How is listening to your favorite music (heard it 100 times) and walking your favorite route(walked it 100 times) getting out of complacency and something new?

 

[MWG]

Have you ever tried it? It sounded like a decent idea, but i can understand were your coming from.

I think music is a good idea. But then I also so what he means. You aren't tuned in with your surroundings if you are tuned into the music.

Valid point.

I have music on while I work, I even watch movies and tv shows, but when I am concentrating on my work, it all gets tuned out. When I am out on photo safari's I am usually alone, and I want to always be aware of what's going on around me. Hearing is often your first line of defense.

Even so, when I am in the city, I want to hear the city. When I am in the woods, I want to hear the woods. In my car, I want to hear music.US3, with the subwoofer cranked.

Do an experiment. Go to the same place 4 times listening to 4 vastly different styles of music, even music that is brand new to you, and see if it effects your shooting at all?

 

[MWG]

LOL i see your point.

I think your missing the point. MWG is wanting to rediscover his environment again, am I wrong? I just gave him an idea to "exercise" his mind into trying to find new perspective. Take it or leave it.:er:

It sounds like you are both saying to do the same thing to me.
