I used to love photography. Started out with a canon 50d and loved that camera and took it everywhere we went. Got some amazing photos thoughtout my time with it and had a blast. Really got into photography from seeing people on social media and YouTube. Photography was a huge reason for us to go out and explore areas. Found out i was actually pretty good at photography. Switched to a few sony mirrorless cameras and it seemed since the switch I lost my spark with photography. Really hated the sony platform and the camera was really small feeling in my hands (a6000). Recently sold all my sony gear and thinking going back to canon. I even have a samsung s22 ultra phone for the camera ability and only use it here and there for quick shots. I also found my dad’s old sears film camera and started thinking about having it cleaned to start messing with it. Those that fell out of the hobby and got back in, what did you feel helped?
You’ve got to have answers for why you are doing it. What is your motivation? What will you do with them? Who will see it and how will they benefit from it? I’m not saying I have good answers for those questions, because I don’t and they differ for everyone and change over time, but you have to have a purpose to give yourself enough drive to actively engage in a hobby and spend time doing it. Personally I used to have good answers for these questions for photography, but over time things change. Some day I may find a new purpose with photography, maybe you will too.
