March 19 photo of the day

More than half way through this month’s photo project I found myself thinking that the rest of the month would be difficult; what more is there to photograph?  (I know how ridiculous this sounds, given that I live in NYC.  Photo ops are everywhere!)   Then I realized that I was thinking this way because for the past few days I’ve been thinking more about photos that other people want to see than those that I want to see.   Which is the death knell of creativity.
