Lack of Passion is Fatal!

To write is to create. You invite the world into the unscripted perceptions of your imagination, the erratic exploration of who you want to be that day. It gives you the power to develop, without limitation a magnitude of ideas, inspirations, influences and opinions. 

"Writers aren't exactly people, they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person," - F. Scott. Fitzgerald.

This seemingly simplistic explanation holds endless interpretations of meaning, justification and purpose. It’s a continual time-lapse of my never sleeping mind, the constant demand to write fearlessly about what I love, in every way I know how and in every voice I have.

It’s the allure of inspiration, the challenge to write it all down, to find your passion and to work hard. 

Simplify, be confident and don’t stop exploring what you heart pumps for.

Into the Dust.

The afternoon light pours onto the reflection of the lake. Dusk is rolling in, as the sky turns into an iridescent masterpiece of violet grey.  
A stirring mass of ideas, absorbing and deflecting creative chaos, into the dust.  

The final shots from a shoot I worked on late last year.

Everything has already been decided. Nothing’s left to chance and there are no moments of organic emotion or feelings caught off guard. We’re scrolling through our digital lives, mind numbingly double tapping things that sort of, not really, but maybe just a little bit grab our attention. Uploading representations of our own watered-down documentations, we’re not capturing emotions any more; we’re forcing an illusion based on the fragments of a moment’s memory.

Where has all the beauty gone? Those raw candid shots, the un-planned, un posed and un-captioned experiences that burn right through to the microscope of people’s souls, their un-edited sense of being.

Sometimes it’s nice to immerse yourself in the creases created from a smile as a face scrunches up in the most perfectly blissful way, laughing and completely unaware of the awe they have just created. A hand, covering the secrets that the eyes guard and the cheeks are only too happy to reveal, or the pure, harmonious aura of someone staring uncomplicatedly into the eyes of their lover, capturing the creation as theirs souls intertwine. 

Click to create, don't sell it short.
