I had some time this week all to myself. Unscheduled time is a gift that doesn’t happen often enough. I decided to grab my digital camera and went to the Huntington Gardens for an hour. I didn’t have any ideas about what to shoot, so I thought I’d give myself a little challenge. I put my 100mm lens on and committed to 100 photos before I could go home.

With my camera in hand, I remembered how it helps me find things I didn’t know I was looking for.

I found light.

Do you ever go out shooting with a challenge? You can do as I did and shoot a particular number of images. Or you could pick a color and go looking for that. I know many photographer friends go looking for gratitude in the month of November. When your mojo needs a little boost, what helps you get your creative juices going?
