When something old is new again!

For a few years I’ve been looking for a discontinued Lensbaby lens for my cell phone. Every few months, or weeks, or sometimes days, I’d hop on Google and do a search. I’d check Ebay. I never found anything I was comfortable plunking down my hard earned money for. That changed a couple of weeks ago. Amazon UK came to the rescue. My Lensbaby LM-10 arrived yesterday! Now, it’s not made for recent cell phones. It doesn’t attach as conveniently as it did before, but I can use it handheld. I reached out to some Lensbaby peeps and asked a few questions after it arrived. It seems there was an App with the lens that helped to change the sweet spot of focus. I won't have that convenience but it’ll challenge me to work around it. Today I was outside practicing and even managed a couple I kinda like!

Sometimes when I need something to spark my creativity, this is what helps! Trying a new technique, or a new gear is motivating. It even gets me excited to go back to old gear. I feel like I look at with fresh eyes!

What gets you motivated to create?

Here are two of the images I took today of my dahlias! i don’t have much time left with them this year and want to remember them in all their beauty!
