Hello everyone.... whoever reads it....
It's been a long time (again) since my last visit here. So many things happened, so many things have complicated in the past few months.
I got a job in advertising – something I always dreamt of. I was thrown in at a deep end, I was drowning for many, many months.
Then came family problems – with my dad's illness, we faced unbearable stress, fear, worry, and had to prepare ourselves for the worst case scenario. July, August and September went by so quickly and in such a haze , that I can barely remember that time. Luckily, my dad is now fine.
And then my own little problems, which I kept for myself as I didn't want anyone to know about them. It turned out that those problems weren't that little and I needed some help from the outside. Those issues overcastted my work, private and social life and I became a very stressed, anxious and worried person. I didn't enjoy anything, I haven't touched my camera for so many months – I've lost my confidence, my inspiration and I blamed it all on lack of time. But it was more than that.
Since the beginning of the new year, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. I can barely see it, but I know it's out there. I'm slowly moving forward, I'm allowing other people to come to my world and help me with my problems. I still work at the same advertising agency, but because we moved offices over Christmas, we are now in a different part of London, which is fantastic. Change of scenery has definitely helped a bit. There are so many amazing places and things to photograph around my office, that I'm starting to think about taking photos again.
I have definitely missed my camera. I feel like if I have forgotten everything I've learnt so far about photography. I need to rebuild my confidence.
I can't promise I'll be here regularly – I definitely will be checking your work, but I don't how long will it take until I'm back with some new photos.
See you soon everyone.
A.
