Hi, so lately I’ve been going through a photography block for months and because of saturation of images on social media like Instagram, I was wondering where do you find like genuinely good photography to look at? You know something that really resonates with you and sparks your love for photography again…

    Go to a library and look at books. Books come from an ancient time before the internet told us all to think with a hive mind, so they can be useful to discerning actual ideas.

    Look for photography collections. Preferably in B&W, which will both tend to be older and focus on concepts like telling a story and composition.

    All the internet gives you is ten million examples of hyper sharp, over saturated, millionth of a second exposures, of birds doing something birds do, but that the lucktographers couldn’t be bothered to actually try to photograph.
