Escape
The Call: Off into the Proverbial Sunset (Sort Of) — Cheryl
Well, it’s time to escape — for awhile. Committing to shoot every, single day is a double-edged sword. The continuous practice is integral to improving, but the continuous demand can lead to burn-out and simply fulfilling a quota. In the past two months, for me, there have been more quota-fulfilling days than becoming-a-better-photographer days.
It’s time for a break (Jessica and I are taking off the month of August), a reassessment, and a new take on the theme of call and response. Neither of us know exactly what September will bring for C&R, but I’m thankful that my partnership with Jessica will continue. It has become a very important part of my life.
The Response: Vacation — Jessica
So, the end is finally here. And I, for one, am very excited to be escaping from the everyday demand of the 365 project.
I can only echo what Cheryl wrote so well. The double-edged sword has cut very close these last couple of weeks. Life is very busy for a mother of seven and lately just making it through the day has used up every spare brain cell I have.
Those were the days that C&R got a snapshot. I hate having to put up snapshots. That is why I’m ready to slow down and think through what I want to do with my photography.
See you in September!
perfect final shot! into the sunset, indeed! enjoy the break… I’m looking forward to typing on a keyboard again soon…
I like the pov you chose for the umbrellas.
I know what you mean about the snapshots. It seems like ages since I created a photograph. I think I’ll take a few days to clear my mind, then start brainstorming — but not planning … ; )
