I went out to photograph, and IMHO THEY SUCK! I was doing better last year IMO, and my stuff to date this year SUCKS! Help! I need to get my mojo back. Of course when the Fiscal Year ends for the spouse unit, I will have some time just for me. I feel like a single parent these days since Lupe has worked every weekend from 6 August....

You've lost your mojo! Oh no! I recommend starting on this remojination program immediately!

1) Keep your camera on your neck or hand every waking moment.
2) Take sexy photos of your wife immediately!
(You should do that anyway, regardless of mojo status.)
3) Chase your kids around using your camera as a mask.
3) Sleep with camera under pillow. Kiss it goodnite.
4) Dance with your camera when no one's looking.
6) Let your camera watch you shower. This builds trust.

7) Have a camera's day out. Clean your camera up real nice (inside and out!) and take it out out for a nice dinner. Get a table for 2 and eat facing your camera, never beside. Brush your leg against the tripod sometimes, then apologize. Don't be cheap about the location or you will get cheap pictures.

Smiling, but I'd be happier with some great photos.

Not sure I ever had any mojo. Anyone know where I can get some? I'd be willing to trade for prints.
