Amateur / hobby shooter here ... My first post in quite a while.
Around 18 months ago it seems like I fell out of the sky. Moved cities because of work and troubles mounted exponentially. Photography quickly took a back seat and I kept telling myself that I'll get back to shooting sooner rather than later. Days became months and months have now started accumulating at an alarming pace.
Photography always seemed to be the only thing that helped me keep my sanity since I would forget all my worries when I had the camera in hand. My wife realized this early and has encouraged me to go out and shoot but I haven't been able to manage that.
I look at my gear daily (still keep it next to the bed) and pick up the camera once in a while but the shutter has had, at best, 2,000 clicks in the past year. Have considered selling my gear but have not been able to take the plunge.
Now I am more settled and have time to shoot but I just can't get myself to do it. Somehow, I am having a problem getting started. The difference between a rut and the grave is the depth and I don't want to end there.
Has any of you faced similar issues in your photography? A little help / suggestions will be welcome.
