I live in Asia, and prefer to travel to remote areas to photograph minority peoples. I feel that's something that I do well, along with it being the main focus for my current and future professional work. But in March I took a workshop that challenged me to do work that was totally different. I was the only one shooting film, with a rangefinder that has a fixed 40mm lens. Everyone else was shooting digital and everyone did macro work. It was not only challenging to do something different, but to attempt to do it with limited equipment. I don't think I learned very much, but I was inspired to do something different, and upon returning home I find photo ops in places I never before looked at. Sometimes motivation can push us further than further education. Bradley in Japan Good advice!
