Some Days

Some days are longer than others, with so many things to do mainly by myself sometimes it takes its toll.

I’m capable of doing so many things, but with most things the boring stuff has to be done also so, some images takes minutes to shoot but have been covered, by weeks of planning, arranging times and spaces. Learning new skills and practicing also take up a lot of time and that time is based on the availability of others so I’m always juggling time and balancing what I can do and when.

So now I’ve captured the image, I need to edit, scrutinise and select images. write a blog post or post it, find something interesting to say about my work and then look at promoting it. I guess it sounds simple but at the same time I have children, work that is very demanding and other people that also want my attention.

I think I’m way to active with not enough time in the day, so then I think what do I want to give up.

Somedays

Somedays I feel like a creative genius, bursting with ideas and inspiration. I can write, capture, sing, design, or whatever else I want to do with ease and joy. Somedays I feel like a creative failure, struggling with blocks and frustration. I can write, capture, sing, design, or whatever else I want to do without feeling like a fraud and a fool. Somedays I feel like a creative paradox, somewhere in between the genius and the failure. I can write, capture, sing, design, or whatever else I want to do with mixed results and emotions. Somedays I wonder why I even bother being a creative at all. But then I remember that creativity is not a fixed state, but a dynamic process. And somedays are better than others.

I think I need to find some help, I think that will be my next post, but for this one I’ll show some of the things I’ve been working on.
