my first mother's day...
since i became pregnant it seems like photography has
taken a back seat to everything else. and now that i'm a
momma, the direction i want to go with photography has
really almost become a nod to my past...to where i started.
i first studied photography in college. i majored in photo
journalism & loved working with film in the darkroom.
over the past few years, digital has overtaken film & it's
practically antique. i felt this immense pressure to learn
how to do all this insane photoshopping to 'keep up' with the cool kids.
i also had a really strong desire to
push myself artistically from an internal place.
i just don't feel that any more. obviously, i still want to
learn & grow & be creative! i have
SUCH a respect for the photographers out there who
get it right & do amazing things with it. a beautiful
image is a beautiful image & i love seeing what others
can do...especially the people who push
boundaries & make amazing art. but it's just
not who i am as a photographer. it was a fun adventure!
but i an fulfilled in a different way now. i truly want to get my images
right through my lens. i want the natural. i have decided
that i am going to do what i have always done & hopefully
continue to grow & evolve with every shoot.
i know in my heart that it's the place for me & my work.
and the new adventure begins...
and the new adventure begins...

good for you... i honestly think that an artist in WHATEVER form is not going to make truely awesome art unless they are doing what they LOVE and what feels natural to them. if you spend all your time trying to conform to others and their standards - you will get no where but feeling confused!
you are a great photographer and your natural SOOC work is beautiful!
