A Time of Rediscovery

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

Last week I had the pleasure of giving a presentation about the Power of Personal Photography Projects to the Capital City Camera Club.

During the question and answer portion of the presentation I was asked about my next photography project.  After giving this question some thought, I realize that my next photography project has already started.

Just before Mother’s Day, I took a couple of pictures in my studio (AKA Jeremy’s old bedroom).  Little did I realize that these pictures would lead me to my next project.

Here are the pictures I took that day.

Since that day, I have created several of these faceless self-portraits.

My life is in a state of many transitions right now.  In January, I retired from my position as a public school educator after 33 1/2 years.   I miss children!

My son, Jeremy, is creating his own life in Greenville, SC with his beautiful (inside and out) wife, Abi.  I am so incredibly proud of both of them.

These are just two examples of the many changes in my life right now.  I am taking time to look inward as I get to know myself at this point in my life and work to rediscover myself both as a person and as an artist.

As with all of my personal projects, I will allow this one to run its course.  I look forward to the journey and the learning it will present.

I’d love to hear about the projects you are working on right now.
