I don't want to get political, so I won't. But I don't want to ignore the surreal situation we are in. And really, we're moving further away from spring break and going right into summer. I also want to share a new set.... because that's what photography blogs should be about, right? And I did say I would start doing this more often.
I am trying to keep myself accountable. I am trying to shoot more. I am trying to keep learning my craft, even while I'm amidst a little work hiatus(more on that in a bit).
One of my closest friends likes to take her kids out to Dauphin Island to feed the birds. It gives the kids (and herself) a safe outing so they don't feel as trapped in the house. I thought this was a spectacular idea and decided to join them one day. And I brought BAM! (this is a win for me because as some of you know, I never take my camera anywhere unless it's for a contract shoot and I really want to explore my personal life more behind the lens)
The kids got to seek a bit of adventure, and show off their Fortnite dance moves, of course.
Just ignore the bread in the shot. Or don't. I wasn't seeking perfection. I was seeking fun, just like the kids.
And we found it.
I have found peace in this chaos. I left my job and a few wonderful people behind in SWFL, but I knew that I couldn't afford to stay. Financially or emotionally. I have always felt tied to Mobile, AL and I knew I had to come back. So right as this pandemic roared into high gear, I moved, with only my last paycheck in my bank account and many people telling me that I'm crazy.
It's almost been 2 months. I haven't found a job yet. Coronavirus not really seeming to let up. But I still feel more at peace here than I have in the last few months. I don't feel like I'm drowning here. I feel like I'm more a part of something here. I'm not worried. I know something great is on it's way to me because I will make it so. I feel like I can make it so.
And I've only just got here. Hold on to your hats everyone because I sense an adventure coming on!
