Out of The Dark
Hello friends,
Happy New Year! Well here I am emerging from the "dark". It's been a long couple of months. Well if we're going to be honest, it was long year?! But the year seemed to have culminated the last three months and I'm not going to lie - it's been rough waters over here. I won't get too deep into my personal life but I believe this year is going to be better. Is it because I think it will be easier somehow? I honestly believe this year will rival last year in terms of difficulties BUT I believe I've grown. How could I not? I've been stretched a hundred different ways out of what my definition of normal was. (As I know so many of you have been as well...)
° My faith has been challenged...
°and renewed.
°My hope has faltered
° but been steadied.
So here I am for better or worse. I want to thank you you all for the congratulations many of you sent me for placing in Flickr's top 25 of 2020. I was absolutely positively blown away to have placed. Today I was logging in and I gasped when I saw my own picture on the login page. What a HUGE honor... I also realized today due to logging in and going through my inbox (thanks to my dear friend Nick (@nrg_crisis ) that I was nominated in Flickr's 100 Members to Follow: www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157716008787368/
This is by nomination only! Thank you Nick! And thank you so much to anyone who is currently following me and who nominated me. I am so truly humbled and grateful. Truly blown away as I still remember the first time I posted here in 2015. I was nervous... anxious. A little worried about diving in with so many talented photographers. This community has been the most kindest and helpful creative platform by far... Thank you with all of my heart for following & supporting me <3
Many of you have been here with me since the beginning - reading my ramblings and late night thoughts throughout the last several years. Thank you <3
Finally reaching the end of this long winded narrative - I hope you enjoy the picture of this beautiful fox I captured from last year. It was late evening and the grain is a little bit much for my liking. The black and white version really added some intrigue and mystery to this little fellow. There are so many pictures I don't end up sharing bc they aren't "perfect" to me. But I desperately need to get in touch with my inner creativity again, in whatever aspect even if in the imperfections. I will share the colored version later. I would love to know which you prefer.
Dear friends, I wish you the very very best of this year.
Much love always,
Rachel
