Today was a long frustrating shoot. Mostly this is because when I went to develop the 120 film, the lid came off when I started to agitate the canister. The candle/person shots are gone. I did some more but didn't develop.
I think the other stuff is sucking because I'm taking risks. The biggest problem is that I don't have a lot of ideas. I spend time shooting with a classmate whose ideas seem to have a lot more cohesion. She seems to get them easier than me, and there's a driving force behind the ideas. I'm out of practice in this sort of thing and I'm trying too hard. The best thing to do now would be to look at photographs, stop shooting, and relax. Next time I go shooting, go alone and with some ideas or sketches. The risk part is fine, that's why part of the rolls are white. It's because I have no idea what will happen and I want to find out. I've started writing down what I do, so I don't just keep making the same mistakes.
Of course, shooting with a classmate is good, especially since we two are the ones working hardest on this stuff. Our professor knows this.
