I've been thinking back to high school lately and how I really fell in love with film photography and the darkroom. It was the subject I'd get the most excited about, the place where time stood still listening to my favourite music and watching photos come to life. It's a constant thread through my life really. I was taking photos long before high school but that is where I found real gratification in the process and I still get that same sense of excitement when I load my images onto my computer and see how they've turned out. Doesn't matter if it's portraits, travels or product shoots, I find it all thrilling. Every stage in the process has been exciting. Learning studio photography and manipulating light was revolutionary in university but so was learning early types of printing like the bromoil. Even in my early years learning what it meant to start a business as I was shooting albums, portraits and weddings (back in Canada.) I seriously love what I do. This year I've been working really hard to make it a priority to move, meditate and journal every day as a way of making healthy choices that support my mind, body and spirit so I'm better able to indulge my creativity and craft. When I look back my richest years all coincide with great creativity. I want to be on my game and it starts from within, it means practicing creativity in all forms from the kitchen, to the canvas, decorating as well as on a shoot and everything in between. Personally, I'm pretty excited about it and how I'm able to show up for myself but also in my work this year. I'd love to hear what forms of creativity you most appreciate or if you can tie really great years to increased creativity in your own life.
