2023 brought on a lot of change for me both internally and externally which affected my ability to photograph my family and myself. I don’t know why creativity is like that for me. Maybe it’s like that for everyone. The more the world pulls me in multiple directions, the more I am pulled away from the things that ground me and make me who I am. The stress of the world makes me believe that taking time to create isn’t worth it. As I’m writing these words, though, I find myself regretful. Hindsight calls me a fool.
Here’s to more personal work and personal growth in 2024. I sure do miss making self portraits.
