please pray for me....

I guess it always the effect of the 1st day of work syndrome... went back to review the shots and managed to find a few good ones which I'm satisfied with.
Thanks Ead and YuhSin for your advise.
Last night was better after a sgood nap in the afternoon. I dunno why but I'm still having a little jetlag and could only sleep a little the night before and it added up the pressure that what I envisioned couldn't be realised when I want to shoot it. That morning, I felt I have lost it...
I think I have to go back to the basics again.. it's really a form of complacancy that I know the shots will turn out well eventually but God wants me to look towards Him for the inspirations that He has given me...
Sigh....
Think you're too critical of yourself? With your standards, it can't be _that_ bad right?

yuhsin,
I dunno... I don't think I'm setting too high of a bar for myself but more likely I have fallen to a stage where I feel I need a renewed perspective in my work.
Frankly, when I was shooting, I felt that I have done shots like those I have taken lotsa times. The idea of it being so scared me coz that means I'm falling into a certain method, a fixed mode of operations... and the shots will not be fresh to me...
Ead - indeed... let go and let God. Thank buddy

Dang! And I thought I was alone haha. To jolt myself, I went out and got a Henri Cartier-Bresson DVD to draw inspiration from how THE MAN sees photography/subjects. Was quite useful although I'm still in a glut.
Cheer up. I'm sure the breakthrough will come if you keep working at it.
