“Your intuition is simple, and sure, kind, and calm. It’s the calm things you can trust.”

—Caroline Dooner, The F*ck It Diet

I find so much overlap in my life these days and I take this to mean that things are coming together for good reason. Setting healthy boundaries while still being kind, following the principles of intuitive eating, focusing on movement, sleep, rest, play and rebellion as pillars of well-being. Caring without caregiving. Saying goodbye to people-pleasing, over functioning and hyper-responsibility. Who knew life could feel so relaxed and easy? The work I’m doing on myself shows up in the pictures I make.

I had finished this post and moved on to my next activity, watching Part 3 of FRAMES Artist-in-Residence program with Robert Clark. I love these lessons which feel like one-on-one coaching with a master photographer. Looking at Robert’s examples for this segment, I was inspired to go back to make a black and white version of my photograph from Slaughter Pen Farm. I’m looking forward to the next segment, hoping Robert will delve into his post-processing—and opening the door for me to see the potential in landscape photography as a part of my creative work.
