Transitions, Transformations and a Little Photography

Being present and intentional
I think that one of the most frustrating responses to receive when asking why something is done in a certain way is “because this is how we’ve always done it”. My frustration arises because this response dismisses our ability to be present and innovate as the situation requires. It means that we are doing things out of habit rather than intention.
I found myself falling into this pattern once I retired.
Habits, Spontaneity and the Importance of Play!
This is one of those moments where I am grateful that I made the decision to retire and that I chose to pursue my creative passion rather than trying to continue to work in some fashion. It’s interludes like this where taking the opportunity to be spontaneous and follow a hunch results in fostering that curious playfulness that allows creativity to grow. It’s a habit that I’m building and as a result I believe I am a much more creative photographer than I was a year ago.
