Cannot believe it has been half a year since posting.
The winter months were becoming great activities with other photographers and productions then, bam, thirty days + of lockdown. Now I am reasonably good with self quarantine, I was quarantining before it was normal. However, isolation was challenging.
As a creative I look for inspiration with and from others. Watching, listening, sharing thoughts and opinions. Lately this is not the norm. Listening and sharing has been pushed aside replaced with division and single mindedness. Divisiveness introduced producing chaos, keeping us from being US. Coming up on nineteen years ago we as a country became united. Today, family members won’t speak due to a lack of listening and sharing. We are reduced to name calling, shaming, and violence. That is not the United States that I know. I will not participate in that forced rhetoric. I will choose to not be drawn into the divisions of race, religion, class, conservative or liberal, republican or democrat. I will choose to keep positive people near and release the negative. Follow the good things in humanity.
Being creative, that is what I choose. Be the best in yourself and show your creativity.
The excitement of the shot, capturing the slice of time that will no longer be there. What I produce, I am selfish about. It’s not always what everyone else does, but it is what I want.
