I don't know if there will ever be another Temperance, but maybe I'm figuring out the beginning of it. I'm such a different person than I was when that series ended, even more so than when it began.
Space informs creativity so much, and back in Philadelphia the space outside didn't offer much in terms of inspiration. Since moving here to Portland I feel so much freedom to explore nature in new and exciting ways. I don't have to only take picture to create, or express my love of nature. I can carve. I can ferment. I can preserve.
Things feel so much more complex and well rounded learning this place. When I can't be outside taking photos I have projects and hobbies. People to share them with.
I love that.
The compulsion to always be shooting isn't the same as it was, and with that I feel more comfortable expressing I have no idea what is coming some times. Letting things develop naturally.
