I love what you wrote here, BTW I discovered you and your work today and I couldn’t stop watching your videos in YouTube. I felt every single word you said. I’m a engineer and all my life I was doing what it is needed to try to have a career in that field, then to be a good wife and mother, etc. Always trying to be “productive” in the way that I think I was told to do. One year ago I discovered photography and now I cannot understand how I lived before of that taking away from me my artistic expression. Nowadays since I’m not producing or making money of this it is difficult to find the time to do it. Photography makes me feel so good, so alive and blessed, I can live like in a parallel world without living my current one. I now I have to make the time to do it but sometimes I’m finding my self justifying why I’m doing this since it was not what I studied for and so on. Thanks for your words and I love this photo.

You have made my realize that I have created very little just for me. Out of all the wood carvings I have done, I have never carved myself something.
I will have to do that. 🙂

I know where you are coming from, my family isn’t too bad. But Most of the people I know would think I am a loon.
It is hard for guys to be artist, especially something like fine art.
I am in rural Kansas, and everything is stupid sports!

I loved your words, reflects almost what I’m feeling and gives me encouragement to experiment with pictures and creativity.
I try to fully enjoy time with friends and do things that make me well, that your work inspire me.
I love Doctor Who and GoT 🙂 and I’m looking for my lost talent !!! It gives me much encouragement serious … hopefully one day can make some workshop and learn a lot more than you let on.

One thing that I love is going on adventures and finding new places that I’ve never seen before. I feel like I wait too often for someone else to join me because I might be afraid of going by myself. I think I need to start exploring places by myself when I feel the need to explore but no one else can physically be there with me. Thank you for these blogs, Brooke <3 Sam

From an early age I was influenced by peers and family that being creative was for sissies and the lgbt community! It wasn’t for real men – real men played sports! It was in an era that few were comfortable with creative and artistically minded individuals! It’s hard to break out of old habits of denying my artistic side! Here’s to my journey of discovery!

For me it’s about stopping and making the time, or taking the time. Twice a year I take a creative photography class to force me to take the time for me, to explore and do what I love. What I need to do is more creative work in between those times so I am now surrounding myself with others who love to create like I do so we can push one another.

Always great to be reminded that it’s OK to take time for ourselves and not feel guilty about it. Thank you, you’re a wonderful person.
