Quite a few things on my mind...i feel so terrible that i’m this behind on my projects and my blog...it’s been a really rough few weeks and it really gotten me down and in a deep slump both mentally and creatively.Â
   The past few days i’ve been trying really hard to snap myself out of it....i did what i usually do and turned to my inspirations to find something to get me out of the dark side of my mind. I ended up watching a lecture that I’ve seen a handful of times from Cig Harvey...
   Fast forward to today...probably one of the worst days i’ve had in a very long time...i naturally grabbed my camera and tried to push myself to make pictures to try and feel better...when i stepped outside the first thing i saw were some flowers in the yard that were closing up instead of blooming...the very moment i saw them i remembered how in the lecture Cig talked about making pictures of landscapes and things that reflect the way we are feeling inside during moments in our lives. I feel like those flowers...tired, burnt, i feel like closing up and shutting out...i continued to walk around my yard and inside my house and made pictures of things that i feel like showed how i’m feeling inside
   i have never really thought about getting my feelings and emotions out by making pictures of landscapes and things that made me feel something...i’ve always just photographed myself feeling...by the end of the experiment i felt so much better and really liked my photographs towards the end of shooting...i think its the beginning of something new for me...Â
