KEEP GOING.

This week we try the opposite of what we did last week. No writing today. This is all about trusting your intuition. Just getting in there and making work, trusting the whispers inside your being on which way to go next.

In the video, I speak about an experience I had when I was taking a workshop with a mentor of mine. She told us at 10pm to go home and make 10 photographs and be back by 8am the next day.

I didn't have a plan. Just started to create photos with my iphone. When I looked down at the photo album inside my iphone, This is one of the images that I saw:

It’s was a tad disturbing when I first saw it, but I couldn’t stop looking. I could see the image on the top was the person that I am in the external world, and the image below was the vulnerable places that I try to hide within myself.

This image would never have been created had I not just started to make the work. I kept going. I look at the images as I go and make intuitive decisions on what my next photograph would look like or what I could try next.

This image was made while staying in a hotel with my son for a family event we were attending. We had been walking around the area and I noticed an olive tree nearby. I intuitively took a branch from the tree and went back to the hotel with it. I had no plan. I put the branch on the bed like this and took photos with my Polaroid camera. It makes so much sense as to why this image was made and it was really an out of the blue photograph. It fits so well with some of the conversations I’m having within my work and was a private message out to someone that I was thinking about. I’ve been creating a lot of my images about this person during this time and I just love that I was able to create something spontaneous during a very busy time with family.

Your turn

Put down the journal.

Pick up your camera.

Start making images.

** If you like…this is the time to pick up the sacred objects you chose on the first day of class and incorporate any or all of them into this one. ***

You don’t need to understand or know why your making the images you make. Just make them. The objects don’t have to have specific meanings yet. Trust that all will be revealed as you work on your images.

Sending lots of love and support as you keep diving in!
