10 Inspiring And Motivating Quotes

Right now I’m in the middle of a whole fortnight without a camera, and it’s a very weird feeling. I don’t like it one bit. (More info as to why I haven’t got a camera will be on the blog soon) Not being able to do what I truly enjoy is a bit of a downer, and has made me realise just how big a part of my life photography is.

But I’m staying positive and considering the down time as an opportunity to look at other things, and take a breather from photography. I can tell that as soon as I get a camera back in my hand I’m going to be more inspired and motivated than ever. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Or something.

So, although I can’t take any images, I thought I would share some of my favourite inspirational and motivational quotes with you instead. I often incorporate some of these quotes into desktop wallpapers for my iMac and iPhone, so I can be reminded of them everyday. Staying motivated, positive and feeling creative has a big impact on my life in general, especially in the last few years where photography has become my main focus.

These quotes aren’t all specific to photography, but more about living a positive and creative life, and being the best you can be….
