Scrolling over my past blog posts that became a new thing for me in 2022, I sit here staring out the window looking for a new idea.
An idea, a new aim, a purpose for my work.
We all look for things that bring us joy in life. And everyone has something different. Why photography to me? I still don't know myself. Part of it is the exciting walks to areas quiet and lonely, to gather peace yet at the same time maybe capturing something unique as well as capturing my inner thoughts.
And sometimes, I feel like when I get home and look over my photos- they speak as sign for me to follow. It's as though nature speaks wonders (without sounding corny)..
We can get side tracked and go through weeks of feeling like being on auto-pilot with work and everyday demands and then be jolted by something that can throw elements of life into a new perspective. I believe that being amongst quiet bush area can keep us grounded and in the right zone. It keeps us present and I am so much more appreciative of what I have in my world for having the bush air in my mind.
From a young age, I discovered this unknowingly until now.
I would go to the lake every afternoon on my own to see what I could see, the unknown excited me but also the quietness was soothing. It is funny that this pattern of mine still continues today. I find myself either drawn to the river edge wandering aimlessly or hiking the hills around home. Maybe we are all creatures of habit or that I haven't grown up properly yet. However, I am feel so grateful that I am still here enjoying the experiences.
I still have the desire to be known for my work. My fire is still going and I will forever listen to it as it's what keeps our spirit positive.
As for my new idea..... I still don't know- outside looks nice from this window. Getting my joggers and hat on with camera in hand, out to see what nature serves me.
