My photos rarely come out how I want them to (because I don’t take enough pictures), and that puts me off taking any more photos because they all seem ‘bad’ to me. It’s a sort of reinforcing cycle.

I try to take pictures of interesting subjects, in interesting lighting etc., but find myself putting the camera back into the drawer for another 2 months before I pick it up again and go through the same cycle. It’s almost like I’d rather take no pictures than bad pictures.

Is this normal, or am I just insane? I neglected taking my camera on my last trip abroad because of this feeling.

    Stop trying to take photos of interesting subjects in interesting lighting and just take photos of the things you enjoy.
