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...
Wow.. some disturbing but albeit very expressive and very well put together compostions.. Maybe the 'fear" of my "fear" will get better by following you.. keep on posting!
Wow I thought I was the only one that could get stressed out about something as fun as taking pictures. I just start this project a few days ago. I don't care if the lighting is good or what angle I should shoot it at. I love to take pictures and I like them good or bad. I am going to look for your work.
Hey man,I knew you`ll be back!
You probably don`t recall,but I`m kind of your first fan here :)
I love your work and even since you took your break,you`re still on my "following" list.
Glad to see you did not forget about this project,and can`t wait to see you back in action!
...and you`re so right- have fun! No need to stress about other peoples expectations
I've only just been alerted to you and your work by reading this post and I'm so glad I did. I went back through all your photos and started commenting but gave up because I could have commented on every single one then I'd be here till the middle of next week.
You are so very creative, I love your work and I look forward to following you in the future.
Thank you everyone. I'm grateful and glad so many like my work. I am hoping to take on a new look this year and take my photography in a new direction. I hope you all enjoy it. I will start again very soon.
