I have to confess that sometimes I get a creative block on what I am doing. I feel like I am stuck in an endless loop and that photography has become more of a job than something I do for fun. I mainly put it down to the fact that my equipment, although not bad is still not at a standard in which I would feel I can take the pictures I envision. So I looked around the internet for some inspiration and here is what I came up with. Some top quotes from some great photographers that can apply to anyone in the field, be them a professional or an amateur.
