Frustration

“This, in simplest terms, is the frustration. Somehow, as a tourist, I can never seem to produce the same kind of pictures that are on display in galleries, shops, or as post cards. Sure, I usually come home with something that I can be proud of, but I never seem to achieve what I expected to be able to do.” ~ Louie Powell

The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and 'mangled mind' leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict. ~ Elizabeth Drew

Art is a very joyous obsession that has one large drawback – the frustration that is involved with the middle of the process, when things can go either way. ~ Travis Bowles

This topic relates to my overall work because I am obviously frustrated that I seem to be exhausted conceptually on the art front after 5 or so years of art school. I feel frustrated when I pick up the camera, let alone start editing what I shoot. The more obvious topic of the article describes the frustration from taking photo’s on my recent vacation.
