Our winter is near.

Discontent to fear, but wait!

This season comes first.

– Mitch Lewis

While taking pictures throughout this project I also tried to embrace my own limitations. Since I was facing the difficult intensity of my mental health struggles I didn’t have the energy, strength or clear thinking to take pictures with my digital or film cameras. So I kept in mind that I generally had my phone nearby, it was very lightweight compared to my cameras and was very simple to use with this app—basically just point and shoot. There was no film development, scanning or post processing involved with my simple phone photography process. So I was able to keep things very basic and focus on the act of seeing, capturing and coping.

This photo project has been very meaningful and helpful with my efforts to cope with my own intense, moment to moment mental health struggles. It is my hope that perhaps there can be something beneficial, encouraging or inspiring within the project for you as well.

Coffee and camera and elbow tripod. Have you ever noticed webs on the ground early in the morning? If you don't mow grass, this is a benefit ;-)

Confront_1950_001

For this project I was interested in using a smaller digital camera with in-camera JPG film simulations, but since that currently wasn’t an option for me I decided to use what I had available. I came across the FIMO app that I could use to take pictures on my phone using film simulations. I used the free version which was limited to just a few film simulations.

 

Rather than focusing on what I didn’t have I tried to enjoy what I did have available and use that to the best of my ability. I viewed this like using a vintage Polaroid film camera with a digital aspect. The film simulations added an element of suspense, surprise, not being in control and embracing and finding beauty in the unpredictability. And since the images were digital I was able to see them when making the photos rather than waiting until the film was developed which added a level of enjoyment to this project which was helpful for me at that time.

Not a sound, no movement, just a bright stillness.

Kings Cross tunnel. I always love this tunnel . The positioning of the three people walking towards me and the colours the lady in front was wearing gaive this a staged look.

During a time when the intense mental health struggles I face became extra challenging I found it important and helpful to make photos of things I notice in my surroundings as a way to help myself cope. But I found this very challenging as I didn’t really have much capacity, physical strength or clarity of mind in order to plan. It was not easy to pick up my big DSLR or have it accessible if I did notice something to take a picture of. I wished I could have a smaller, nice quality camera to keep with me but didn’t have the funds to purchase one. I thought about using a film point & shoot camera that I had but also knew I didn’t have the money to spend on lab film development or the energy or clarity of mind to develop my own film at this time.

 

So this “in the moment” project was my compromise to creatively and resourcefully finding a solution to help myself cope with intense, moment to moment struggles when my circumstances prevent me from doing this the way I would prefer.

 

Last night I just ordered a test print of the first zine in this collection.

From the perspective of my practice of therapeutic photography I would consider this collection of my “in the moment” photo project to be a success. It’s certainly not technically perfect and it was helpful in keeping myself in the present moment at times when this felt impossible and too painful. I'm thankful I've been able to notice a few of the positive impacts of this project. I’m sure there are more that I haven’t noticed yet.

All truths wait in all things

Weekend three-hour hike in the forest behind my place at Nth Stradbroke Island (Queensland, Australia, east coast).

 

It was awesome to hang out with friends and hit the hiking trail again, weaving up through the hilly forest track contours to the tall red gum trees shown above.

 

Hiking is certainly great exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between.

 

Including getting into nature and experiencing that one-with-nature in the moment aspect. Forgetting about everything else and rejuvenating body and mind ... and letting go of those some reputed 60,000 daily thoughts that flood the mind! Tops for sure!

Här kommer mitt bidrag till fotosöndags veckotema - i nuet.

 

Here comes my contribution to fotosöndag's weekly challenge - in the moment.

 

Been all a bit too grey these last few days but did manage to get out briefly. Not much colour or movement in the sky so did my best firstly with a 60 second exposure to smooth out the water and get what cloud movement there was. Saw that there was a sailing boat heading across my field of view, and decided at that moment I wanted it in my image. So another exposure of 1/125 was taken to capture the sailing boat. Finally masked the boat into the long exposure in photoshop....

Geometric tune out...in the moment...block it all out...look up and just be this.

As I took the photos that naturally turned into this photo project I tried to refrain from criticizing myself for not using my “real cameras” that take better quality photos and keep in mind that I can still make images with my phone. During this time, rather than having quality be my main goal, the main goal was survival and taking the healthy steps that could help me press on through the intense difficulties I face.

Strangers to Life’s Inevitable Suddenness

By Don Iannone

 

You forget the golden sunrise, letting

the shifting sands of time, slip

through your fingers, like

life falls off the bones

of subtle lonely strangers

 

Knowing nothing of the waiting

shadows linger deep

just out of reach of tomorrow, where

hearts ready in quiet desperation

haunt us, then let us go

 

And then, just before surrender

to what beckons

you rewind, and

in your own unique suddenness

the inevitable happens

Person Holding Smartphone Inside Sunidhi Chauhan's stage show

Sunidhi Chauhan is a hugely popular Indian playback singer, known for her powerful voice and energetic performances. She's one of the top female vocalists in Bollywood (India’s film industry) and has sung in many Indian languages. Think of her as a kind of mix between Beyoncé’s stage presence and Adele’s vocal power — full of charisma and range.

 

She's performed in films, live concerts, and international tours, and is loved for hits like "Sheila Ki Jawani", "Beedi", and "Kamli" — high-energy songs often featured in Indian movies.

Went for a walk to a favorite location today and there are always people looking for an Instagram moment. These two were no exception. I'm sure the young lady saw me with camera in hand and I wondered if she put on that cutesy pose for her partner or to poke a little fun at me. Either way, it was fun to see happy people enjoying the moment.

Just as they were in the moment gazing at the painting, I guess I was too taking the shot, oblivious to everything else..

You have brought the feminine image of God into my world. For this gift, I shall be forever grateful.

An evening in Indian summer,

folks enjoying the last hour of sunlight at the beach,

some alone, others with family and friends,

watching the sun setting and the sky bursting in shades of gold.

The sounds: gulls screaming,

the never ending waves kissing the shore,

the mingled voices of children at play

all blend together into a soothing sound.

Just another day at the beach for some;

for others, like the bride and groom in the distance,

it's an ending to their celebration

and a good omen for their new life together, hopefully.

 

The National Weather Service defines an "Indian summer" as any spell of warm, quiet, hazy weather that may occur in October or even November.

Windows open—curtains and hair blowing in the breeze, enjoying the moment.
