Starting over 

How the hell are you and if this is your first time here thanks for stopping by.  I know that it’s been a long time since I have written anything and that is due to life throwing us some curveballs.  There are so many things that was going through my mind to the point that I was not only in a creative block but the urge to write.  The rut that I was in really made getting out to create anything was hurting my heart so much.  I wanted to go out but in my head I had this feeling of what is the point and why should I even try to get out there it is not worth it.  

For having those thoughts I am sorry that I was not able to bring my writing to y’all.  Now that I am starting to get out and shoot and find my new groove things are starting to look up.  This comes to me in the way of having to start over with a few things in my life.  This has come at a great cost to me mentally and that is where the block came into play.  Now that we have moved and starting over with life and building a new normal I am at the point that I feel I can write on the weekly again.  

There has been on good thing that has happened to me I started a YouTube channel to express the way I do my photography.  I am going to be writing this blog and sharing my YouTube videos with y’all.  The one thing that I found was to just get out there and do it.  I was trying to make sure that things were perfect before I shared my first video.  Well I said the heck with that and just started filming a video.  I winged it just like I did with sharing my first photo.  This process is different for taking photos to filming a video but at the end of the day it is about sharing what I know with people to help them learn photography.  I loved being out there trying to share what I know about this craft like I have with so many others in person.  

This video thing is totally different because it means that my face is out there with my images and I think that was the most fearful part about it.  I am fine with sharing my knowledge with others but doing in the format that YouTube give me is something that I was not used to.  The actual part of taking the videos is not that bad but there is a format that I am still learning and just like my photography there is a learning curve that I will have with it.  I know that I will overcome the fears that I have for the whole sharing the video thing.  There is a huge benefit to doing this and that is I will reach more people and I will be able to teach them.  I love sitting down and talking with people so I guess that I should look at as if I was talking with you in person and just roll with it.  

Go watch the YouTube video and let me know in the comments here what you think.  Thanks for being there in the background waiting for me to write again.  It is so nice to be back.  Enjoy from right outside of St. John’s AZ y’all
