today

i rented a lens today…
a Very Nice lens. then froze up. (performance anxiety at it’s finest)
i expected all my images to be A.MAZ.ING (and they weren’t)
i questioned my sanity
and my place in the world
(this became BIGGER than being just about my photography skills)
spent time vocalising some of my angst
and internalising the rest
i drank wine, toasting an absent friend
i wandered familiar paths
and found some new ones
and ended the day taking my favourite photograph of the whole day.
which i would love to share with you
so here it is; my gift to you…

how has your day been friends?
