I have to say yes. I've been shooting for a solo show in September - and having to shoot a lot more and a lot more often has brought me into a really great "zone". I've experienced some breakthroughs that are really exciting to me, and I've really learned a lot from the experience. But - I do agree that it ebbs and flows. I've had some pretty slow stagnant years as well. Fortunately, this wasn't one of them!

The three day seminar sounds like a great way to expose yourself to new ideas and people - good on you for getting the juices flowing again.
