Searching for the Story.
“ I battle with knowing if my narratives are worth sharing promptly or if I can take the time to determine a genuine tone, message, and theme. ”
What am I doing with this work? Over the last few years, I have shared photography and various thoughts. With the release of "Home Land." I felt like it was a culmination of all my work that communicated a clear sentiment. The result was highly satisfying, and receiving feedback from folks on a project I am passionate about was beyond gratifying. Now that the book has been out for a few months, I find myself with an abundance of photographs from my time in the Yukon. However, I'm uncertain whether there is a grander narrative.
How much time passes before a project loses relevance or meaning? This question is challenging because some people have followed my work and supported me over the years, seemingly regardless of direction. I battle with knowing if my narratives are worth sharing promptly or if I can take the time to determine a genuine tone, message, and theme.
As I continue learning about and exploring Crowsnest Pass, I will reflect on my time in the North. I'm unsure if the images will amount to anything or if they will merely end up in a portfolio of eye candy. Like any significant move, it will take time for me to feel grounded again. This summer is quite open for figuring out what's next regarding employment, living situation, and direction for my photography and communication. Thank you for your continued support and interest in my quandaries.
