Day 31 ~ Picturing Fall ~ Giving Thanks



Swan Song

This is the last day of this photo workshop with Tracy Clark

of Shutter Sisters. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity

to participate with everyone in the class. I have learned so much

and I am very inspired to continue on in this quest I have claimed.

Simplicity is the important thought I take away from this class.

Eliminating is harder than you might think. Choosing is harder

than you might think.

I would consider that learning something new, even though

I am trained in the classical way as one who strives to create

something that did not exist before with beauty in mind,  is a

bit confusing, as in learning to ride a bike, for instance, while

in the moment you forget that you know how to walk or how

to cross a street safely, you forget all of that and struggle to

not fall over and crash.

One day, you find that you know how to ride a bike. Then

you just do it.

It will be a while before I am at that point with photography.



Swan Song #2

Now it is time to take a breath to think about it all.

Take time to be objective.

Take time to enjoy the rest of my life.

Take time to just be thankful.
