I've been in your state Jody for over hmmm.. 2 months.. I got a new puppy and that takes a lot of time. I burned myself by taking a lot of photos (by my own standards) and learning new pp methods (finally I restricted to enhancements). I haven't updated my blog for 2 months and don't see anything that I want to photograph...
Finally I've started my engines.. took my first one for the balance assignment on DPS.. started following my flickr groups and browsing through pics, got a new zoom lens (still 2 more days till I get to hold it), and planning on using it for some macro shots, WWE, and racing event I am going to go to..
Lot of times I find myself restricted because of lack of lighting equipment, which I can't afford yet. One day I will..
till then I'll manage with some DIY style equipment
Don't worry you'll get out of it.. just look around and push yourself..
