Oh, the title

It seems I cannot take good photos anymore.
And no, I don't care if others like them. I know what I'm saying, it's me and my personal satisfaction. I take hundreds of shots, but none of them satisfies me. Photography was a good way to express myself, to say what I wanted to say. Not great photos of course, but they were enough for me.
At first I thought it was something related to the equipment: perhaps a brand new lens could bring new life to my inspiration! I often think at what I could do with a super wide-angle lens, like the Canon 10-22 or the cheaper Sigma 10-20. A good tele, perhaps? Like the Canon 100-400! That would be a little too much for my budget, but who knows...
Then I thought it was something about technique. I'm obviously an amateur, not a pro, and I would need a lot of practice and study to get better results. I just take dozens of shots, hoping to find something interesting among them. Such a naive approach.
No, no. It's not the equipment, nor the technique. It's the photographer.
I think I'm unsatisfied with my photos because I don't really have anything new to say now. My life is getting stale. I've read all the book many times, I even studied the index, the notes, the didascalies. But now I must go on and choose another book.
I need to move, to find another job, to escape from this town, its pollution and its stupid, greedy people. I can see it clearly even when I'm with some of my friends: we (I) often don't know what to say, which is rather sad. I know I've said this thing many times, but who knows, perhaps this will be the right time.
A new life, not a new lens, then.
Well, maybe both. :)
