Hello everyone. A lot of you have probably never heard of me or seen my work. I attempted this project last year and got a third of the way through. Unfortunately I had to give up this project due to very stressful things happening in my life. Most of which resulted because I took this project too seriously. I obsessed about it and it got the better of me. My initial aim was to improve my photography and learn new techniques and become more creative. Even though I did achieve this, I then started to obsess about how others viewed my work and felt like I needed to impress everyone.
However, this is not how photography should be. It should be fun and enjoyable. I have had some time off to think about things but I am pleased to say that I know where I went wrong and I am looking to make a fresh start with my photography this year. I am excited to know that there were many people interested in my work and have made pleas for a return. That is very encouraging and I thank those people.
I will be posting more pictures this year and will be completing my phobia theme in the first instance before moving on with my photography. I am not going to do a photo everyday as my job gets in the way of that at the moment and that got on top of me last time. Although I will try and post as regular as I can. Some will be pleased to hear that I have some very exciting ideas planned for this year. Stay posted... In the meantime I would like to wish everybody good luck for this year and my only advice would be, stick with it, no matter what...
Congrats on your new start. I, too, feel some pressure to make something fabulous every day. Which is not the reason I started this project at all. Glad I'm not the only one who has felt that way. I think I need to re-tool my thinking as well. I'm excited to see your photos this year :)
