My work is dark and sometimes that worries me then I look at your work and read your posts and I remind myself that the images I create are the stories of my life and although my life has been full of bad experiences, full of darkness, photography is my light, my voice and in a way therapy releasing me of those demons and allowing me to move on. I know I am not alone in what I have experienced and that is why it is important for me do my photography, to let it be seen, because it lets others know they are not alone and that my voice is their voice letting the truth be told.

I really thought I was going to go nowhere with photography I thought maybe its a halfhearted hobby. Learning from you opened the door to many things changed the way I looked at things, the way I thought of a situation. I either conform like everyone else or I can go out there and discover myself. There are so many superficial truths out there and just realizing that you are what you sought out to be and truly believing shatters every single one of those illusions. I believe I finally discovered a style so natural to me it feels amazing finishing something that feels like its been there all along. Brooke remember the tarot cards? remember your question? I believe in those cards whether it’s a placebo or divination and I personally believe that you spread inspiration every where like a bee and pollen. Cheers!

I feel it most when I’m working on an image in post. This is when my whole body embraces the creative process, and I’m being drawn into the picture. Thank you so much for this post, and for this blog.

Your post is wonderfull. Really. It’s the kind of post that makes you smile and believe in the beauty of the world. I follow your work since a whyle now and every day, I’m a little more inpressed. I admire you for your courage: you do want you want, and you truly love it. Furthermore, you share all of it with strangers, it creates a bond between us, it’s fantastic :).

Taking the time to make an image in your head come to life does. I’ve only realized that recently and I’m so glad I have. Thanks for the inspirational words.
