A New Year, the Same Me
It’s almost a whole month into the New Year and a full two years since my last blog post on my website. I kept holding myself back from writing something on here for several reasons:
I thought I wanted to strictly write content that was related to photography and my photography business
I talked myself out of it because I was “too busy” or work was so slow as a photographer that I was hustling to find income so this idea fell to the wayside
I was worried that it wouldn’t be a good business move to post my personal writings of my life along with my struggles in a blog post on my photography website
And then I just flat out didn’t do it for no other reason than not wanting to
What did I take away from the time it took to think about writing my next blog post to sitting here now and typing it out?
I just did it.
No plan. No rough draft. Just writing it.
I’m very much an individual who likes to loosely plan things out because too much planning gives me pressure and anxiety.
The one thing that stood out to me about the hang-ups I had listed above was number “3”. Why did I care how my blog posts would be received when so much of my own Fine Art Photography has had personal anecdotes from my life attached to the image. I’m not afraid, but I probably wasn’t ready to write it in this space yet. But if I’m not making any Fine Art Imagery at the moment, then the least I can do is keep telling my story.
Just know I am not a writer but I enjoy writing. So if you’re here and reading this then welcome to my blog “The Life & Times of Shilo Rayne”.
