I've been in a bit of a slump on and off for some time now. For me, a slump means not making pictures a few times a week.
Creativity wanes...life gets in the way...lots of reasons not to shoot.

So let's see how regularly the rest of you are shooting.
 
I was out in central London yesterday with an M2 and 50mm Elmar and shot about 10 frames on HP5. I haven't processed it yet though. Before that, probably one day last week.
 
A week, I have been pretty good about getting out to shoot as I am working on the flicker RFF PAW with the guys.
 
2 hours ago, on my way to work, stopped the car to photograph some evergreen trees and a cedar rail fence with a fresh dusting of snow.

I tried to think of a poll option along the lines of "Frank told me I could satisfy my GAS here," but I wasn't sure of how well that would go off. :angel:
 
It's been three days since I took a photo and 8 seconds since I looked at Gear. Hmmmm, what does it mean?
 
It's been well, well, below freezing in Toronto and I'm a chicken so the last picture I took was two days ago of my wife after she just came in from the cold.

Honesty? Is that the standard you're trying to set?! Ouch. Okay, I came to this thread via the RFF marketplace...
 
Couple of hours ago, about 10 street shots. I always have some sort of camera with me, even if only a P&S, and usually take a few pictures every day.

Maybe one hour ago as I was taking my daughters to daycare. I get them in a good mood when we leave the home. I now carry each day the XA in my pocket.

About 5.30 pm Manila time. I shoot pictures for a living. Did shoot in my studio, strobe-lit, on digital sensors in a DSLR. However, it has been three days since I used a real (read: ie, Zorki RF with BW film in real world situations)
camera. :)

Yesterday - I took Frank's advice and took a bunch of photos of my children sitting together in a chair.
 
Boy I'm glad I was out there this morning freezing my behind taking picture of ice covered branches Wednesday's snow storm left behind. Put me at the top of the list!
 
Hi!

Interesting question.
I suppose I need to split my answer.

1) Some test shots or snapshots, I took today.
2) "Real" photos, i.e. with time to think about composition and light, I did not take for a while. Don't have the time at the moment.
 
I always carry a digital P&S with me wherever I go. The beauty of this camera, a Casio Exilim S-600, is that it is so small and light you hardly know it's there. (Err...let's see you say that for an M3.) There's always something worth shooting every moment of evyer day.

I usually document my commute to work, sometimes with just random shots from the car. I also like to photograph heavy construction equimpment - I love it's beauty and power. I get some great shots of it out the window of my car. I firmly believe that if you were locked in an empty room with a camera, there would be material enough for a lifetime of shooting. There is beauty and interest and wonder everywhere.

Photography class is keeping me busy

Photography class is keeping me busy

I am in a B&W class with weekly assignments, so I find myself walking around with the camera in hand, pocket or around my neck most of the time. We're just starting out, so we are still bracketing every shot, which means that a two-roll assignement is only 24 pictures. In a couple of weeks we will just shoot straight. Yikes, coming up with 72 frames is going to test my creativity.

edit - Tuolumne, I just saw you post. I need to think (or I should say -see) more like you.
