Backing Up

Lately I've been struggling with just picking up my camera and taking a picture of, well, anything. After spending the last few years working on long term projects I'm having a hard time taking a photo without  it being part of a larger whole, that is, just going on walk and shooting whatever I find interesting. I keep thinking 'why am I doing this' 'where would this fit in with my other project', or 'I should be working on some larger project'. And the stress of it has prevented me for doing anything. I used to take my camera to an event and shoot a hundred pictures in one shot. I didn't care if they were prefect or anything. I miss those days, and I feel like some of my favorite memories were of these random moments. The other day I took a walk in my backyard, and realized how much I miss just documenting my life, and the small moments I've forgotten about. My goal right now is to stop stressing and just enjoy.

Sketchbook Portraits

I've been looking at vintage photographs lately in my sketchbook and adding my own spin.
