Crossroads…

Been on a (not so brief) hiatus for the past couple months.  OK.  Let’s be honest here.  For close to a year.  I took a step back to reevaluate my work and what I wanted to do with it.  To figure out what were my strong and weak points.  I still don’t have an answer to that question.  The ability to create and the motivation to try to create has been a very real struggle for me this past year.  I dig though old work constantly, hoping an amazing shot that I somehow missed will jump out at me.  The problem is that my work evolved over time, became stronger  the more I had the camera in hand.  I have two projects I have been working on that lie dormant now.  One you have seen and is published (not in it’s entirety) on the site.  The other is over seven years of working with some amazing people on a black and white nude project.  Fear of what the general public and my commercial clients will think about it.  Fear.  Self doubt.  These things are crippling to any artist.  But have been crushing every ounce of motivation in me this part year…

Maybe the answer is to pick up the camera and just start shooting (outside of client work) again….
