As a follow-on to the last post it is worth talking about the value of restriction is breaking our bounds and loosening us up.

Restriction can be anything from making ourselves only shoot for a week with a single focal length lens, only using a certain color scheme in our digital art, working only to a specific size or only shooting after dark. It is an established art school technique and has parallels in all other areas of human growth and development.

In the modern world we are often overwhelmed by choice and many times this over abundance of choice will produce paralysis. By removing all that choice we can break the paralysis and allow the creative juices to flow again.

It is a simple concept. Give it a go.
