I’d like to think my blog is a bit more that just a place to boast, to promote and share all of the awesome super-positivity that people love to read. Sometimes I think you just have to be a little bit more grounded, a little bit more based in reality. After all, life isn’t all roses. Sometime you have good days, sometimes you have bad days. So this is a bad day post.
Things have seemed to have slowed down a lot in the last month or so, although honestly it feels like a lot, lot longer than that.
It feels like so long ago that I was running off of the creative and confidence high of shooting my very first wedding, soon followed by first time second shooting, but in reality this was all just this summer.
On the upside, I have a number of weddings booked in for 2013, which I am really, really looking forward to, but right now that also feels like absolutely years away.
So I now find myself in this period of nothingness. This horrible dark, bland filling, in a sandwich of awesome things. Sure I’m tinkering with gear a bit here and there, and taking a shot or two on the weekends when it isn’t raining, but for the most part nothing is going on, I’m not taking any pictures, and it’s making me unhappy.
Having this extra time on my hands has caused me to become a little more philosophical about photography and it’s effects on me and my personality in the last 12 months. (I have my obsessive over analytical personality to thank for that)
I’ve been thinking about what I would have been doing with my time if I hadn’t been doing photography, reading, practicing, learning, shooting etc. I only picked up my first SLR at the start of 2011, so I must have done other things, right?…
