Photography has become fucking stale. Unless I'm away on a trip (which I'm not right now as I'm funding a loft conversion), I can't seem to take any enjoyment in photography or find good subjects when walking around my city.
I'm considering getting a superzoom to swap things up as I've only properly shot 35mm and 50mm prime. Or I could not be a gearfag and set myself a project with themes or something. Anyone else found success with this? I'm struggling not to sell all my cameras and try something else.

I'm not a professional. I just shoot for fun and I'm bored of it.
Also fuck Sony. That's the opposite of fun.

If itโ€™s just a hobby youโ€™re allowed to find a new one, retart. Sell the gear and bugger off.

Limit yourself to only taking pictures of eggs.

photography has never become stale to me
if you can't find a good subject in a whole city, i'd say either skill issue or look to the countryside or suburbs

I think you just need to reevaluate your perspective. There is always interesting photography to take

Learn to draw. Read more. Play a musical instrument. Not joking.

I already play a few instruments and record my own music. And I read.
I alwasy liked photography for the way it gets me out of the house. I think I need to go to new parts of town and attane dmore festivals, protests, etc.

Definite skill issue. It's like I can't find interesting subjects any more.

Maybe you should just take a break anon. Maybe you are not experiencing enough art or life in general. You can't really put anything in art is you don't have anything to give

That's why I said it! Eggs are a world class subject to photograph, but you could always exchange it with any other singular object. Limitation breeds creativity. There's a tree on my property I enjoy photographing and thinking about as well.

I put my egg pics in the back of my head, slowly churning and I came up with a pretty fun idea I think! You'll see soonish, maybe.
