Where photography meets therapy

There is something for me about image, about the moment I experience in the capturing of an image, in that split second I see something, I feel something, I have an emotional reaction to the moment of experiencing and in capturing that moment and freezing it in time I take control of it and make it my own, and this I find to be therapeutic.

For me that capturing and keeping of the image as I saw and experienced it in that moment is the key, I tend to keep my images as originally taken, without enhancement, for that would then change something, that would be another moment.

Then the best bit is when I view the image, I am back in that original moment, a felt moment captured for all time, to be relived when ever I choose.

Possibility

My eye was drawn, I was taken to a place of adventure, of journey, of travel. In that moment I felt a calmness in what I might me able to achieve, of steadiness and excitement in the path ahead leading me on.

Flight

Being high above the clouds, of feeling the space, the warmth of the blue sky, wanting to fly and be free from that which ties me and holds me back.

Jewels

The light capturing the weeds floating on the water and turning them into jewels. Our life experiences dancing in the sunlight, the muddy, the dark parts being part of the make up of us. Valuing all parts as they dance in the light.

Drawing me

Smooth and harsh lines drawing my eye, warmth in the coldness of steel pulling me to move, to follow.

Reflections

What do we see reflected back at us? I was struck by the clarity in this reflection, almost as if it is the building itself was standing in front of me. What do we portray to the outside world, what is hidden in our reflection?

The clouds

I do so love the clouds, they draw me to places of imagination of wonder, and my heart soars.
