“I’m tired of waking up in tears 'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears. I'm new to this grief I can't explain but I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain”

over the past couple of years I have been struggling with the point of photography. I’ve always done it because I love it, but recently, since going to school I’ve been having problems finding the pleasure in it. the romanticism and joy were gone.

I want to find it again.

In the past couple of weeks i’ve been contemplating doing a 365. really, i’ve been contemplating it ever since i got into photography. i had somethings planned out. I wanted to start on my birthday to document a whole year. I even had shots planned out. ideas for when i got stuck or bored or tired or sick. but it wasn’t until this morning that real inspiration struck.

you know when creativity hits? that was this morning. and the only acceptable response to a surge of creativity is to act on it and not let that moment go.

"i know better than to leave and let it die"

the thought of failure and 365 images scare me. so instead of a photo everyday i want to create one every week. something that i am proud of. something that i can look back on and see a change a difference a growth. but most importantly i want to create something that is real. that has meaning, even if it is just to me.

this is personal.
