inspiration, where are you finding it ?

yeah i know .. to be honest im on autopilot most of the time, i expose film and don't process it for weeks or months .. just had the urge
to push the button or remove the lens cap.. and then 1 or 3 years later i'll find myself in the darkroom tidying things up and fine
a film box full of film that i decide on the spot to print or do somethng else with .. but i have a feeling a lot of people who
are here on photrio or other places really have more of an aim / focus and say " i want to do this" .. they go
someplace, (maybe take notes) go to the darkroom get their negatives and begin their task of
making a print just they want. or at leat that is the gist of what i see and read of people posting stuff in the gallery or forum ..
or if they do color or b/w and don't have a darkroom they send it to whomever or wherever and they develop and print &c ..

Sometimes I find stuff from years ago and think, "that looks amazing...I just didn't see it at the time". Sometimes stuff I thought was great at the time doesn't look so good now. No problem. Ch-ch-ch changes...

Sometimes inspiration is just a happy accident. Trick is to let it happen. Raku ceramics, for example.
