Hello!
Just wanted to revive this much-neglected IG account, and say I appreciate those of you who are still following me. I am still making photos and I have a huge backlog of film soon to be developed.
Before I start working on that, allow me to present an IG retrospective.
(Is this too pretentious??? 😂😂😂)
Here are a few of my favorite (portrait-framed) photos that I made early in my photography journey.
Lately, I've been feeling disconnected from photography. 2020 knocked the wind out of my sails and I have yet to recover. I feel as if IG isn’t a place for me to display my art, and maybe it never was.
Instagram is not the catalyst for my desire to photograph. It has been, at times, an inspiration, but it's feeling more and more like a weight.
I wrestle with this idea of being great. Not in the typical sense, but being the best that I can be.
What do I do when that is not enough?
I am not sure what photography holds for me.
I do not feel any less excited about walking the streets and photographing anyone or anything that catches my eye; however, I do feel frustrated with how much I care about what others think. Those thoughts have been a thorn in all of my creative endeavors. I just want to get to the place where I can feel free and create because it's what I love.
