A season of reflection and growth

These past few months was in season of reflection and quiet, like the seeds under the fertile soil waiting for their chance to emerge in the bright sunlight of spring, gosh that was corny.  I am not a writer, I am not eloquent lol.  

This winter was a hard one for me.  My anxiety was pretty rough and I was feeling not good enough, uninspired, depressed.  So I took a break.  I put my camera away and rarely touched it, I stepped away from posting my work on social media, and I hibernated from my photography. 

I worried that by not posting on social media my clients would forget me, think I had quit.   I decided to that I needed something that planted a seed in me, or lit a fire again.  I enrolled in a course on film called Everyday Films and I began picking up my camera again.  I slowly started feeling myself getting inspired again, excited again, not just about this new passion of film making but also about still photography.  

Sometimes in our lives I think we need a period of quiet, to reflect on where we have come and to decide on where we want our path to lead. 

I am sharing with you my final project from my workshop.  It is always scary sharing something new but I also know that sometimes you have to trust the magic of beginnings.
