Day 10/365 of "Unlearning"

Today is day 10. And another thing I am loving about this project, is that in the process of unlearning the “rules” that grad school taught me, is that I am getting myself out of the house to photograph again. For the last couple years, a combination of anxiety and stress has kept me stuck inside my head and inside my house (most days). This project is forcing me to get out and explore the city I have lived in for almost three years. I think that it is going to actually make me a more active member of the community, which in turn could actually really help my photography business. But even when I am freezing, searching for these photos, I am falling back in love with the wonder of capturing the world around me. I am starting to let go of the idea that every photo needs to have some grand story behind it. Sometimes it just needs to be something that caught your eye, like vines coming out of a fence with red berries on it.
