The Margherita has said it all about the image, left me just add that I feel an enormous power get out of this image. This image, embellish even more this post. I love it! A few days ago I commented with someone, about my path, until I discover my passion. I also started writing, but in my case it was poetry. Then I started painting in oil and began to realize that my path was the arts, no doubt! And through the arts, create. That is the magic word in my life. But stupid, I ended up studying engineering! But that’s another story! In high school, I studied arts and that’s when I discovered photography. Photography is my passion and is through photography that I feel happier and someone. But for a long time I did not have a camera to take pictures. But that did not make this passion for photography, which always stuck with me, died. To feed this passion, I attended many photography exhibitions, read books and magazines about photography until I could buy a camera and express myself through it. 3 years ago I discovered that my passion was incomplete, despite feeling happy. To find you, Brooke, gave another dimension to my photography. You showed my path on the photography and so I am eternally grateful to you. Create through photography is my passion. And indeed this passion is not a hobby, but a way for me to be in life with a purpose. But what if I now lost my camera? That would be like losing a bit of me, but it does certainly mean the end of everything.

I love this blog post/video so much, I wish everyone in the world would watch it. You always give me that kick in the butt that I need. This made me realize that I haven’t been trying hard enough and now that I know it, I feel an urgent need to change that, to work harder and try harder.

I’m passionate about creating personal images. Images that conveys how I feel. I’m passionate about the process of creation. I find that I’m happiest when I’m setting up a shoot because all I’m thinking about is creating. The other day I had this random thought, that I’m creating stuff that hasn’t existed in the world before, I’m making something out of nothing and even if it completely sucks, I brought something into existence. It sounds silly when I try to explain it, but it almost felt like a revelation.

I miss you and I hope you’re having a lovely time in Australia! <3

Lovely video, as always! I find it quite hard to narrow down my passion into one thing, I know roughly what it is. And I am still trying to figure out how photography is the medium… I love making images but I want to get a more clear message, related to my passion. I want to help people see the world in a new way, I want to make someone think about the topics that I write about in a new way. I want the world to be a compassionate and safe place, with different values than the ones ruling the world right now. I want people to understand what it’s like to be on the outside looking in, and have more compassion for the lost in this society. I want to move towards a lifestyle that will speak of that, that is when I will find fulfillment I think. So I have found my passion, but I need to learn how to live it also. And as I said, narrow it down a bit ;).

Passion is a matter of expression. It will always find a way to burst. :o)

I just have to say, yet again…that you are a true inspiration. You always seem to say the right things in the right time.
And I that photograph is so so powerful that I have kept just staring it, and I am sure I will keep coming back to stare that.

Have a wonderful week and thank you for being you!

Lovely image Brooke. I love the tones and the elegance of the movement of the fabric. Wonderful!
Thank you for this post. For me, it is not a question of not knowing what my passion is, or what provides inspiration, or to feel filled with passion and inspiration… I am blessed and grateful to have both in constant abundance and know what triggers to draw on to be filled with more… What sometimes gets me down though is that others do not understand me for this. They find the force of my passion and inspiration as something scary or off-putting. Often I am told that this makes people scared of me, or they are afraid to approach me as a result… I have to really dig deep for this and partly guide people in understanding me and mostly just owning it 😉 Over the last few months I have been put into a sad and horrible situation that has made realize that I am an all or nothing person… and my default is to give it all. It is this knowledge that is giving the strength and courage to follow my heart…
Love & Light
