I’ll be honest sometimes I’m a bit afraid of taking a picture because I think to myself, what if the other person doesn’t like it. Maybe he/she thinks I’m taking a picture of them.

I’m not.

But I want to lose that fear. I want to let it go. Let it get lost in the snow or washed away in the rain.

It’s tough sometimes.

You hold on to the fear because in a way it feels safe. But as creatives, safe isn’t always the answer. As creatives, we learn to take risks with our art.

Maybe that’s what’s missing in my images. A bit more daring and a dazzle of risks. A few more lights, and a whole lot of story. Maybe letting go of the fear can truly set us free.
