Chase Jarvis blogged about a couple of innovative ideas to follow in case you ever hit a creative block and don’t know what to shoot. The first is to do a major photo shoot with a grandparent as your model.
It’s great idea but it should really be extended to other family and friends. I have mostly shied away from documenting the people important to me and, talking from recent bitter experience, I wish I had paid more attention to it.
Coping with loss is bad enough without an aching feeling that you should have taken some photographs, instead of keeping all your creative energies for shooting another ruined building, rusty lock, or whatever.
Shoot a loved one today !!

Please accept my condolences.
There is so much joy in exploring and sharing our creativity with our loved ones.
Thanks Crawford. I know you went through the same experience recently so you’ll know exactly what the feeling is.
