I haven't had classes for almost a week, actually. Now I'm just looking to get a job and readjusting to not having a bunch of things scheduled. This summer I really want to take the time to improve my photography. I've had difficulty finding interesting subjects or, perhaps, making stuff interesting. My photos seem to lack creativeness and punch, and I haven't really got messages with "oomph!" in them either. The latter is something I really want to aim for. Photos with a purpose beyond looking cool and being technically excellent, though that's definitely something I need to improve on too. I think I may need to read a book about it. Perhaps a new lens? Would it open up a world of new possibilities? I tend to mostly keep my handy 17-85 on and doubt it's general usefulness can be usurped. Then again, a generally applicable lens is good for generally good photos. So an extra special lens for extra special photos?

Lord, help me grow in this too.
