A Year Ago Today
A year ago today I was out shooting in a magical foggy forest. Now that forest is covered in snow.
One of my favorite pieces was created there. Maybe it’s the strong association I had with the feeling of that moment, or maybe it’s that I was experimenting and playing, creating just for me.

Authenticity and Belonging
Authenticity. Identity. Belonging. Imposter syndrome. These are all things that have been filling my mind lately.

Creativity is a journey. It doesn’t happen all at once, and you’ll never fully arrive.

But it’s all part of the process.

Defining Success
It’s two weeks into February, and so far, I’ve only done one shoot. The editing will come later.
We’re just over a month into the year, and so far, I’ve only created 6 pieces.
I started beating myself up for it, feeling sorry for myself, and questioning whether or not I can really call myself a creative. Do I just like the term creative, without actually having anything to offer?
