Proof of [creative] Life
It feels like I have been waiting for good photography weather for ages. A little mist here, a little pool of light there can add so much to the evocative nature of an image. I have a short list of images in mind that I want to add to my Last Harvest project that I haven’t had the weather conditions for. In truth, I have been in a bit of a creative slump, which I am trying to throw off. Forcing oneself to take photographs will, I hope, little by little, get creative juices flowing. As January’s days start to lengthen a little - a minute earlier sunrise, a minute later sunset time each day - I am longing to get out and make some new photographs (I will not call it work!). I am beginning to believe that picking up the camera bag and heading out is sufficient proof of creative life. A second rate image is certainly better than a third rate one and infinitely better than no image at all.
