Sometimes you need to be reminded of who you are at your core. Among other things, I am an artist. It’s part of my make-up and what makes me…me. I love things that are handmade. I love original works of art because I know they were created by nurturing hands. I love knowing where things come from and that they have a story. Photography is one medium that allows me to connect with other people as I create. It’s perfect for me really, because I get to be creative while I interact.
Artists tend to run out of steam every once in a while, and I was at that place. I needed a reminder that I don’t just “take pictures”. I am an artist. I had sort of forgotten, and I was creatively zapped.
So, in search of renewal, I spent this past week at Texas School. It was a week to get my learnin’ on, but more importantly, to get inspired and refresh my focus as to why I love photography, art and all things creative.
Another big part of the week was catching up with other photographers. I met some new friends, and even got to meet some “cyber friends” in real life (and they were even more beautiful in person than their avatars!). I felt privileged to share the week laughing and sharing with such talented people.
I’ll fill you in on more about my fabulous instructors and show more images in some up-coming posts. As for now…it’s early bedtime. I am oh. so. tired…but I am also renewed.
Stay tuned!
