All of no. 2, especially “It is okay to take a step back from that hustle and just exist.” It’s nice to know I’m not alone in having completely useless days.

I can’t stop looking at the images in this post. They are like a voice for the inexpressible part of being human. An unbearable “heaviness” of being 🙂

Brooke- oh, this is the first time I’ve actually read your blog, and for that, I’m sorry…meaning, I’m sorry I’ve lost out on learning and growing from you. I watched your CL class many times over and am in love with your work. About a year and a half ago, I went through a horrible experience and am just now feeling healing and closure. My counselor wanted me to think of a way to “commemorate” my healing from this experience in some way. I immediately knew I had to do a photo – but I’m a family/kids photographer. But I wanted to do something different, darker, but something meaningful to me. I landed here, at your blog, after looking through your work for inspiration. Gosh, even after watching you edit on CL, I have no idea how you achieve such beauty and power in your images!!! Your reds are so amazingly dark and vibrant. Anyway…I’m going to see if I can do this – if I can commemorate my place of finally being able to forgive after so much anger and heartache. I want to do a self-portrait and I’m hoping everything I learned from you will come out in my own work. Thank you for sharing yourself. I just wanted to write this to you so you knew that there are so many people out there that you’ve touched and inspired and you have no idea. God bless~

Okay, so one question needs to be asked here:
What could you possibly watch on TV all day long?

“I have seriously redefined my goals in life. I am no longer satisfied with being a photographer. I want to make a real difference, and so a single word cannot capture what I hope to be.”

Nor should it. If your hope is to make a real difference, however, I’d say you are well on your way. Over the past year you have gathered a group of photographers, artists, writers, dreamers together and you have given us the inspiration to try.

You have told us it is alright to try and fail. You have encouraged us. You have moved many of us off of the couch. You have changed lives with your words and your art.

I do also understand what you are saying though. You’ve taken a step, but there are still miles to go before you are satisfied (if that is even possible… we’re all changing our goals on a daily basis and redefining who and what we want to be).

I want something more from my art as well. I want to change lives, not just with the photos I create but with the message I speak; with the person that I am. It’s not an easy mission. So I just wanted to let you know what an amazing job you are already doing. 🙂

Here’s to an amazing 2015 for all of us!

We’re about to finish the year 2014, which for me was a turning point and to which this blog contributed a lot. I am very happy with this my 2014 with everything I learned and the peoplealthough not personally, I met in this beautiful community. So I’m very excited about 2015 and no doubt that these items will be used by me. I cannot give you my gratitude and friendship personally, but I can leave in this blog, my thanks for your words and pictures along this year, they were very important. You have a friend here. Wish you a week of peace and love. <3
