I am not a writer so hang with me. Some days I just itch to get out and photograph people. Especially in these dark and wet short depressing winter days. It is hard as a creative person, photographer, artist, whatever you want to call it, to be trapped inside the house during the winter months. Thanks heavens for my studio which is like an escape for me, to get back in touch with my creative side and feel peace. It is a place that utterly describes me. Vintage, rustic, wood, browns and just a major mix of all things fantastic about what I love and do for my career. I can look around and feel "at home". I often take my youngest son with me to the studio, which at this point is well equiped with movies, art supplies, playdough and toys. Every time I escape to my studio I get this comforting feeling, like it brings me back down to earth and I can remember why I do what I do. I had at one point in my career tried to put the camera down, to stop and give it up, after some serious tears, emotional breakdowns and down right hair loss..... but I just couldn't.
It was like an addiction, every where I turned I wanted to photograph, someone or something, usually someone that would be my willing victim. It got so bad at one point during my carerr at the county, I would bring in a mini flip video camera and keep it in my purse. I would constantly pull it out and get video clips where I could pull still shots from it and just have fun,,,, I was very annoying at my county job he he! But it was during that time that it all came to a crash collision of what to do with my life. I never saw my children.... NEVER!!!! I worked for the county 9-5, then I would edit in the evenings and photograph on the weekends. I was miserable, I felt downright quilty and like a horrible mother. My husband was with the kids ALL THE TIME! I never got what I felt was real quality time with my children. As time went on I said many Many MANY prayers, asking for a clear path. Eventually they got answered and I was able to quit the county with my husband being in a better financial position allowing us to take the risk.
Its amazing thinking back on what we been through, what we are going through now, and trying to imagine how much more our lives might change in the future..... but through all of it the biggest blessing that came from this is being able to be with my children more... being able to play in the backyard
