5 years


I got a notice the other day that I had a birthday coming up. So I had to to some math to find out which birthday. Needless to say I was surprised to find that I have been here 5 years and in my current mindset I am posting 5 days behind, so that means I had already taken the shot.


All this brought back the white canvas fear that has been running around in my head anyway. For those of you that do not know what the white canvas fear is, it is the fear an artist has facing a blank canvas, wondering what if anything will appear on the canvas. I have faced this fear many times facing a blank canvas. Now it is here with photography the doubt that nothing worth processing will have been acquired. The flip side of this doubt/fear is the excitement of discovery allowing the unknown to become known. 


All this has roots in my days in producing art where when my work became easy an predictable in my mind. Often fellow artists would produce the same quality work time after time and I was never satisfied in doing that. The changes in photography are more subtle. Color, black and white, framing the processing, the processing has become 80-90% of an image.


I am rambling, but do want to thank you for stopping by for a moment and for the stars, hearts and comments.


always, lynn
