Perhaps the title sounds more like a therapy intro than a photography one.. but hang in there with me.
I really believe in energy and your life sometimes telling you its time to change. I have lived a lot of my life following these signs accompanied by my "gut instinct" and I have turned out ok(I think?). In 2021, my partner and I were on year 2 of trying to find a house. Our market and spirits were dwindled. Along with work demands life seemed like a pressure cooker to the point even getting out and photographing for fun somehow led to stress and anxiety.
A pivotal moment happened in November and we came to the discussion we were going to look to build our home base elsewhere.
Here is what I mean about energy and life flow - Within a couple weeks of saying that we found a house that fit our needs. Out of 10 bids, we were the winners. It was the first house we put a bid on. A quick close left us with 3 weeks to move in the middle of Canadian Winter and off we were. Just like that, life was about to change.
Now this home isn't anywhere. I now am so grateful to call the Canadian Rocky Mountains my home. A photographer and hikers paradise - fully aligned with where we want to be in life.
The past 6 months have been incredible artistically. I have created my best work , met incredible artists, and feel a sense of peace I have been searching for for years.
As I write this I am charging my camera up to do some night photography tonight and creating a google doc on my winter workshop brainstorms.
For the past decade I have almost always listened to my gut. It's taken me some interesting paths absolutely, but I wouldn't change a thing. I can't wait to show you all what I have been up to!
Cheers to the journey.
