red in the garden, tonight's glory -- it even smells beautiful as well
The truth is that even though it is great to be in this place and to see new things to photograph, I am aware that it is not home and not where my heart or my work is. There is such a difference between taking photos of a place that is beautiful but not intimately known, and a well worn place where there are strong emotional connections. Maybe that is how it works in any relationship -- the known providing both the perfect and the disappointing, and the new being glorious but way less grounding and satisfying.
So, for now, how about my suggesting that we just give ourselves over to where we find ourselves this day and make art whenever and wherever we can! The world's injuries require nothing less.
