A truly brilliant photographer is one who, through many hours of observing, can see deeply into the moment with their intuitive eye. Their gift is to feel the moment before it will unfold. Their skill is knowing how to compose and capture it so that you and I may see it too.

I used to think photography was something you could just learn, like reading, and then be good at it, as though these picturesque moments were just littered through life.
.
But I’ve come to believe when I see a photo like this one, that a true photographer is one who observes life so deeply, that just maybe their real gift is seeing into the future – seeing a moment that will unfold just before it passes.
.
Brilliant photographs are prints of patience, snaps in between seconds of silence, evidence of the conviction of life’s unfolding.
.
This photograph was taken by my dear dear uncle, who took me under his wing, sharing his passion for Pentax and spending many hours with me in the icy woods of Aurora, patiently teaching me the technicalities of photography and also sometimes how to see the moment before it unfolds. 💙

🎃Happy Hippy Halloween Everyone!🎃

The last 7 days of reflection about scary reasons not to pursue your creative path have, in a strange way given me one final realisation, and to me, this one felt a bit like a gift from the universe.
.
The scariest reason behind pursuing your creative path is the willingness to believe that your worth lies in that one idea you can’t stop thinking about.
And do it despite what all the “that’s not a real job” boogie monsters say.
.
As Cheryl Strayed puts it. “Trusting yourself means acting out what you already know to be true.”

Do you believe in spirit animals? A friend of mine once said mine is a hummingbird because I derive my peace and balance through movement, like yoga or hiking or fluttering about the house cleaning😂.
.
Today I discovered that the long-tailed hummingbird is sometimes also called a Sylph – an imaginary spirit of the air. And while painting this, one of my favourite Estas Tonne tracks, ‘Internal Flight’, came on my playlist… and I thought… yup.. spirit animal indeed.
