Recently I reunited with a few of my college friends. These girls, they warm my heart. They have been with me, from the beginning, they have seen my photography career unfold. They have supported and encouraged all of my endeavors. They have participated in making my dreams real; they modeled for me, bestowed feedback, valuable tips on editing and shooting, sat with me through endless lectures, adventured on random shoots and pushed me to go all the way. There is something to be said about the people whom you were educated with and whom you were challenged with and grew with. It’s a special bond being together at the beginning of something great, witnessing excruciating all-nighters to get the job done. Most of them, they themselves, are fellow photographers and being with them again brought me back and re-ignited my heart, reminding me of the beginning and why I am doing this, why I love it. For months I have been feeling uninspired, lost in a life of pattern and now, the ideas are running round and I am ready. Pen to paper, camera to subject. As my roommate often says, “Lets get this show on the road!” As we speak, I am working on a new project. My aim is to have an art show in 6 months. So I will take the next 3 months to shoot and the remaining 3, to plan. I will not be posting art show pictures; I want the show, to be new, to all who attend. I don't want people, to have had time, to think about the image. I want them to see it and feel it for the first time, when the show opens.
