A specific, creative struggle is going on at the moment.
It's true. I admit. It is a panging question.
What's next?
How does artistic progression occur without redundancy?
Does this happen to you?
Creating images is so very important to me. It feeds both my wants and needs of expression and communication. I believe that when you are shy or introverted, in particular, photography offers a voice; a presence with proof that all, sometimes socially awkward, inconveniently timid, and the often meek can be not only heard but expressive. Photography gifts this not only to myself but to many others.
Without the use of words, an image can resonate with another human like nothing spoken. Images gift the viewer an opportunity to interpret a soulful message specific to their needs. A communicative conduit through which the viewer receives precisely the emotion that at he/she needs or wants. Be it sadness, peacefulness, happiness, positivity, negativity, love, etc ... Isn't that amazing?
Think about it.
I do.
It's huge.
As 2019 begins, I wish to transform my photography fetish and move forward into sharing a more stimulating and creative forum. I am not a goal-oriented human, but perhaps it is time to structure a few things. I am struggling to make headway in the creative direction that my heart wishes to travel. It is frustrating.
I want to try something new; such as, write a novel and or a book of poetry, teach a class, offer online workshops, hold a photography retreat, open a studio, and more.
I even start a 365 on January 1st, eyes rolling, knowing I have much more important, challenging photography things to accomplish. I have done a 365 previously, four years ago. Why revisit it? Do I find ways to procrastinate creating obstacles to reaching my true wants? Hmmm.
What is the "thing" you are struggling to uncover or explore? As we move into another year of our lives, in which we so very much want to be productive not only for ourselves but for others, what is yours?
For me, the first step is going to be clearing away the fog, the obstacles that are requiring my time which is inhibiting my ability to do the things of creative choice. Prioritize I suppose, would be most specific. Seems like a great place in which to begin.

Panging by Angie Lambert
There is a want
and a need
to be inspirational.
Stealthy,
a blur reveals.
Teasing with clarity
and snippets of precision,
it feeds.
What is next?
I do hear you.
Mind and body hungry,
needing less of the blur
rather than more,
the pang continues.

Always tried to figure out the hookah, succeeding in burning herself at least three times before she managed to get cannabis into it, light it, and smoke herself silly. Weed bravery at its best! She was now properly giddy, munchy hungry, and ....... off to do what she'd been told to do. Even if she was not particularly thrilled. Oh she'd get her revenge yes... creatively too.
Always was a tracker... and had at least some sense of smell. And she remembered the damnable guard from the scene in the village anyway. She'd simply check the village level by level if she had too. Starting at the lowest level since most everyone was usually on the second level. Least likely to find him there. Which meant she could say she had tried and go home to her tree. Yessss! And then she stopped, her nose twitching. Well fuck. There he was.

Started as three bracketed images taken in infrared using a modified Canon EOS 5D. Plenty of manipulation of the colours to give predominantly two complimentary ones.
I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.
On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.
Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.
The National Rifle Association of America, or NRA, is an American non-partisan, non-profit (501(c)(4)) organization which lists, as its goals, the protection of the Second Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights and the promotion of firearm ownership rights, marksmanship, firearm safety, and the protection of hunting and self-defense in the United States. It was established in 1871 in New York by William Conant Church and George Wood Wingate as the American Rifle Association; its first President was former Senator and famous Civil War Union Army General Ambrose Burnside.
President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant served as the NRA's eighth President and General Philip H. Sheridan as its ninth.
The NRA sponsors firearm safety training courses, as well as marksmanship events featuring shooting skills and sports. The NRA is sometimes said to be the single most powerful lobbying organization in the United States.Its political activity is based on the principle that gun ownership is a civil liberty protected by the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights, and it claims to be the oldest continuously operating civil rights organization in the United States. According to its website, the NRA has nearly four million members.
