How to stay in touch with your inner photog.

Every so often photographers tend to get off the photography track. Maybe school, work, or family might get you sidetracked. Whatever the reason there is an easy way to keep your mind on the creative path. There are some photographers who told me I should go out and about and shoot something every minute or so, for an hour or half an hour, at least once a day. Not everybody has their camera on them everyday though, or do they? Almost everybody and their grandma has a cellphone, more specifically a camera phone. See where I am going with this? A great photographer, named Chase Jarvis has come up with the idea of using his iPhone to take pictures everyday and throughout the day. Since you carry your phone with you anyways, why not? Chase says he takes 1 to 1,000 photos a day with his iphone. The point of taking these photos is not being able to produce stunning works of arts. (Although it is possible) The point is to keep your mind thinking creatively. When your walking around and thinking, "what can I photograph", you keep keep the wheels in your head turning, all of the time.
Here is Mr. Jarvis talking a little bit about his idea.

"The best camera is the one that's with you." -Chase Jarvis


Can you tell I am fan of Chase's work?
