18 Years In: Why Boring Locations Beat Bucket List Shots

Eighteen years in and this shooter still isn't chasing waterfalls. The actual insight buried in here isn't about location at all. It's that most creative ruts are gear-shopping in disguise. A new body won't fix a stale eye, and neither will flying to Iceland. The photographers who come back from burnout usually did it by shooting something ordinary, close to home, with the same kit they had before they quit. Worth ten minutes if you're between jobs and starting to wonder why you're not feeling it.
