Things I’m thinking about this morning . . .
from Paul Sanders’ newsletter: stop pressuring yourself to be a good or great photographer, none of us are, we are just here to enjoy our time with the camera, it is not about being the best. I say this so often but photography is not a popularity competition, yes it is lovely if people enjoy our work but the prime motivation for photography is self expression, not pleasing others.
projects from Kelly Burgess: this was the year i planted no roses and sing me back home
and how did I not know about this nonprofit arts organization advancing mental health advocacy through photography?! Too Tired Project
from Jamie Varon, Radically Content: “And I want to feel good. I want to be happy. I want to continue to heal. I want to be a person who understands the intricacies of joy. I want to be content. And satisfied. I am deeply earnest now.”
real life stuff like the beginnings of a headache, a dentist appointment this afternoon, and what the heck will I make for dinner tonight.
