Transferring my old blog posts to this new blog has made me realize how much things in my life have changed. Most are for the good, but a few are for the bad. I've completely let my photography morph into a service instead of an art form. I want to get back to making art through photos. I used to carry my camera around my neck EVERYWHERE. Then, the whole blogger world thing hit, and I started feeling self-conscious about it. I started to get bugged by people who were doing things only for the photo opportunities, so I made it a point not to be that person. I didn't want people to be judging me or laughing at me or being annoyed at my constant photo taking.
In doing so I started putting my camera in my bag instead of around my neck. I only took pictures of things I thought were "worthy", or things I really wanted to remember. I forgot about the beauty and worth in the little things. I forgot that photography is as much about creating beautiful images as it is about remembering. And I miss creating beautiful images of the small, everyday things.
So, I'm taking my camera out of my bag, and wearing it around my neck.
XOXO
