"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainty".
-Eric Fromm
After spending quite a bit of time with the uncertainty of the last few years, I lost purpose direction and floundered. After focusing on a move and a new way of working, I had time to begin to question what is my purpose is at my current decade of life, what do I want to do with time that I have left. Sounds like a really bad cliche, but even clichés contain elements of truth. And circling back to the beginnings of this blog, I rediscovered my love and passion for photography especially film.
It hit me that I have more freedom than I have ever had if I choose to use it. So this holiday weekend I am committing to a labor of preparation. Cameras are coming out and some on their way. Work on bringing my skills back into practice through reading, puersuing pertinent YouTube videos and signing up for a photography course on personal development and expression. Finally I realized an area of my garage could be turned into a darkroom. Ambitious yes, but a long term dream.
Finally my plan is to post more frequently here and daily to Instagram. The creative inspiration is to leave in this world my vision and how I've learned to see it as I go through the last year's and hopefully decades of life. I'm sure it will be refined more, but gain freedom to explore and express.
