    i think i have photoshop creative block. I have a parents album i need to get done today in like 7 hours actually if possible and i can't do it!

    i can't find a good start,  i don't love the pics. the bride is very explicit  about hwat she wants and i guess i am just scared it won't be what she wants! (plus she's friend).

    what do you do to restart your brain when you are in a rut??  help help help!

    Doodle with the hand you don't write with...they say it sometimes sparks creativity...stimulates the other side of the brain....This might be hogwashDog, but hey, it's worth a try.  Good luck.

    stand on your head and drink a glass of water while counting backwards from 10.

    It works every time.

    I'm not sure how it turned out.. My parents albums use just 4x6s so I'm not sure in what sense you are trying to get creative. I mean croping? or softening a look or a soft glow is nice. How about the shots themselves, are they kissing? holding hands?

    I tell the story sequentially so that takes some of the pressure off. Also how big is the album? Mine is 12 pages for 24 images. I'm not too sure how big parents need theirs to be?

    I hope the headache is better and remember she's only a friend, or was and you can always get more. Now if this was your sister! Now you'd be in trouble.
