Refresh, GET WEIRD

Keeping your cup full as a photographer is a continuous battle.  It is a passion, a need to create, and capturing images is in my bones. But sometimes the things that surround it; the long hours in the car, the planning and emailing, the giving up the weekends, and staying in beds that are not mine, and simply the time away from home, lead to burn out.

So now it is the off season.  The time to rest my feet.  To re-fuel.  That means creating for me, with no other purpose.  It means being silly, putting on purple lipstick, and blasting 80s music.  It means connecting with friends, making memories, and filling back up, so LETS DO THIS.

Story of Me Project

Today I will share a picture of me.  Though we live in a "selfie" culture, often for someone who spends a lot of time behind the lens, it takes courage to get in front of it and try to create art. But it is through challenging ourselves that we can grow.   That is why I recently joined this collaborative blog, The Story of Me Project.  I could try to tell you all about it, but the words put together in the About section of the blog, by say it so much more eloquently, so please go check it out.

Here is the image I submitted this month, with the reminder to "seek beauty amongst brokenness"
