"When I miss you, I look to my camera..." read below (while listening to the below youtube link).
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADvcipmJEi8 - I love this song at the moment. The words, the pure, raw simplicity... it's brilliant. Just brilliant.
I feel like forgetting at the moment, forgetting some things, but it's really because what I want, I can't have, therefore I want to forget. I'm being cryptic I know, but what more can I say?
Part of what I love about photography is how I can create something, something I want to create. Right there, I have power. I can express an emotion I'm feeling, whether I'm in the shot or not...
With this shot, it reminds me of how I feel. Despite the wind and chilly weather, I can go out and feel calm, peaceful and fulfilled. So when I have my moments of "I wish I could have ___", at least I can do something and I have control over that.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend... what did you do?
Beautiful words, beautiful feeling Olivia! The creation has wings which takes us on its adrenalin, beyond our daily reality, in a wonderful universe where the inspiration gives us a second breath. And even when we have to arise our heart remains light of these flights. We engrave these moments in our souls for ever. These souvenirs become precious crystals the crown of which we shall wear for ever. Aren't we the princes and the princesses of our inner kingdoms?
i'm a big fan of wind...it calms and soothes me no matter what mood i'm in.
our weekend was pretty rainy here, but we definitely did a lot of errand kinds of things like getting a haircut, doing some window shopping, and just taking it easy watching the sun set.

More often, what you want, you think you can not have, but might just not be available right now. So you find something to distract you, until such time that it comes to you.
If this is what distracts you, I hope you always want more. So that we will always see the world through you and your sisters lenses. But also I hope you do obtain some of what you seek, so the world will stay so beautiful and obtainable.
I love what you have said here about having the power to create when you dont have the power to get what you want. Taking pictures is therapy and my passion. Nothing gives me the same joy as seeing a vision come to life and often be better than what I could have even hoped for.
