Seasons

Any real change implies the break-up of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth one clings to what one knew, or thought one knew; to what one possessed or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long cherished or a privilege he has long possessed the he has set free - he has set free himself - for higher dreams, for greater privileges. All men have gone through this, go through it, each according to his degree, thought out their lives. It is one of the irreducible facts of life.

- James Baldwin



I know I haven't written on this blog in awhile. I've just been posting pictures. To be honest I haven't been inspired in my life to write. This summer "season" has been an interesting one. I've gained a lot of experience in my photography working for the Ottawa Sun and doing events and stuff but at the same time I suffered a loss that really rattled me inside. It's amazing how life can change before you within seconds, but at others times you feel like your life has plateaued and it will never change and you end up longing for change. The biggest lesson I've learned this summer is to stay true to yourself, don't ever jeopardies who you are for something else. Also I learned to embrace change and not dwell and past events.

So this brings me to why I am writing this. I've noticed my personal photography has become plain (same old) I remember the joy my personal stuff used to bring to me, not because I thought it was good, but just the act of taking the photo brought me joy. I've decided to start a personal project. I don't know what I will call it or how it will pan out and where it will take me, but Im going to make an oath with my self to explore, to learn and discovery what's around me and what I can do with it. Im not going to limit myself to one style of photography or medium, It's going to be open to everything.

I know there is beauty in everything even death, I just gotta learn how to express it through the lens.

Here are two pics I recently took I feel will start this off.
