Recently, Ive become obsessed with my photography. Mainly because I cant seem to take pictures how I used to. From the time I was about 15 til about two years ago my camera was an extention of my arm. I took pictures of everything. EVERYTHING. now... I'm less than impressed. It seems as if it was easier to find beauty in ordinary things when I was younger. The thing is, I'm only 22... and I'd like to think that I'm not that jaded were I cant find the simplest things beautiful. Perhaps I've outgrown this hobby, but if that is the case then why do I constantly feel the need to improve on my photography. So here's my question. Is photography like riding a bike, in the sense that no matter how long its been since you've been on one it'll just come back to you. Or is it a talent that can just fade? I was often told that I had a "good eye". Did I lose it? Is that really possible? If so, can I have it back? Is there some sort of training that I can do to get it back. please... anything.
help!
ps. could it be that I have a shitty camera. cause that can be fixed....

Ahhh I feel the same way, I am no longer curious by the little things. Now that I am actually doing photography as a profession I feel like every time I take a picture there's that pressure that it should be AMAZING, that's why I have been refraining from taking pictures lately. I just bought this retro toy camera called the Holga to kick-start my hobby again...it's not the camera...it's the eyes behind the camera...
