Big Shoes to Fill

It’s times like these, when I don’t have a lot of new photography ideas coming in, that I’m thankful I have a backlog of images written down in my notebooks. This is one of the first photo ideas I ever had. I had actually started believing that this photo would only ever exist as an ugly stick figure in a notebook. Very relieved to see it alive and well in the world. It’s like a weight has been lifted!

The sentiment behind this photo rings very true for my life right now. I feel very overwhelmed and confused by expectations, both from myself and from the world around me. It’s time like these when I have to remind myself to just put one foot in front of the other and keep creating. Photography is like a spinning wheel of creativity. No matter what else I have going on in life, it’s always good to have a photo in the works somehow. Keeps me creative, fresh ahd motivated. It’s the one place in life where there are no compromises, apologies or regrets. This is my vision and mine alone 🙂
