Nope, still not feelin' it

Went out to a 'farmer's market' event this past weekend. Lots of neat (if overpriced) things there, some musicians and a solo banjo player. I didn't have much inspiration there, but somewhat better than my last series of shots.

I have some medium format film being developed so hopefully that will be ready soon and some with be worth posting.

Question

Is an artist really and artist without an audience? Do I have an audience? Am I an artist with a camera, or just another talentless hack with more money than skill?

Only you can answer that one, and I hope one day soon to get my inspiration back. Anywone want to act as my muse?

Stormhouse

During a lazy weekend, I kind of wasted it inside doing little, if anything, productive. Finally, around 7.30pm I decided I wanted to go out and shoot some film, as the storm clouds were gathering in full force.

Sadly, I've been in a rut lately and most of my work isn't fit for viewing, this shot is probably no exception, but here it is anyway.

From the same batch as the rest posted, adjusted slightly to make it pure Black and White, as the local one hour joint typically puts a tint to the film. 

A boy and his Tank

Or more like a boy denied his Tank. Okay, so the roll wasn't a total loss, this one turned out well in spite of the colour film (I'm going on the assumption it was some kind of Kodak 400 speed film, judging from the grain and the colour rendition)

Although this pic was taken well out of town, it turned out well enough that I'm not angry that I have to re-shoot most of it. I'd be ticked if I was in Spain or somewhere like that, but it's mostly Cemetery shots which are easily re-done.

News

Or rather lack thereof. I broke my left hand recently, fortunately not my shooting hand, but it's impacted my ability to shoot all the same. So nothing worth posting for a while (like anything I shoot is worth posting) but here is a shot I attempted in a cast.

FWIW, shooting with one hand is difficult with a heavy camera.

Update

It snowed here for a few days straight, which is highly unusual for this area. Despite the potential for good images, after the Falls area I had visited, I really wasn't able to be inspired to shoot in the city, try as I might.

So this is an image of from behind where I live. I shot some Black and White film from around the city, and that will go up next, as soon as I get them ready (the photo lab scanned them upside down) I'll post the better ones here.
