"We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Happy Saturday!!
Using my photo 'Everything'.
Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes)
Hi There!
Many of you have asked how I'm doing since my foot surgery. I saw the surgeon yesterday, so now have a little news. First, I want to thank my Flickr friends for your support! Your kind comments, notes and prayers have helped enormously! I am still housebound, but have been given permission to try and start bending my forefoot and toes (now impossible) and when the swelling goes down enough, to start to wear my own shoes and boots again! That'll be a nice change from the brace I currently wear. I can walk carefully around my home, but it will be some time before I am out and about as usual. Most importantly, I am moving forward!
Thank you all again a thousand times over!
And thank you for stopping by to view and comment on this image! Have a wonderful day!

It is harder to upload any photos when you don't want to repeat yourself, and at the same time you are afraid to lose any followers if you move too fast. I have said this many times before, Thank you for those who sticking up with me!
As I stand, take steps, hold my camera in my hands, see the sunset light and the road or yard in front of me, press and release the shutter, hear the click of the shutter opening, be mindful that the camera’s sensor is recording the light shining into it, hear the shutter close, feel surprised and inspired by the beautiful images that are captured and shown on the back of my camera and remember that though it seems insignificant this truly is a big victory for me to be moving forward. This all has a deep, helpful, nourishing, inspiring effect on me. It doesn’t magically erase the extreme difficulties and struggles and it does help me survive and move through them in a healthy way.
Moving Forward is a collection of abstract, ICM (intentional camera movement) images taken in moments of desperation, while trying to survive and find a healthy way to cope with the intense effects of trauma, CPTSD, anxiety and depression. The practice of therapeutic photography and healing actions of taking steps and moving forward come together in this photo project. May it be a source of hope, inspiration, peace or encouragement for you.

Hope and revelation are like companions, each playing its part in our journey. Hope is the steady glow of a lantern, casting just enough light to guide us through the unknown. It reassures us that, even in the darkest moments, there’s something worth moving toward.
Revelation, on the other hand, is like sunlight breaking through the trees. In an instant, it brightens everything, bringing clarity and transforming what once felt mysterious into something meaningful and understood.
The old carriage in the forest feels like a perfect symbol of these forces. The lantern’s glow reflects the quiet, enduring strength of hope, while the sunlight streaming through speaks to the beauty of discovery and truth. Together, they remind us to trust the journey, to find peace in the pauses, and to know that even shadows carry the promise of light.

"Merdeka" is not just about looking back at our freedom, it’s about moving forward together with hope, unity, and courage.

I worked late shift today and didn't get off until 7. I didn't want to take too much time taking a picture today so I drove a short way from home hoping that I would be able to see the last of the sunset. And I made it just in time. I recently Googled the instruction manual for my tripod (for another reason) and found that I could turn the center pole around and "hang" my camera upside down. I often struggle with getting as low a perspective as I would like using my tripod. If I have to, I've resorted to laying my camera on something or using my mini tripod. And I can't get consistent placement because the camera moves around a bit or a lot. I wanted to try this new method tonight because there are some buildings and towers on the horizon that I can eliminate by shooting from really low.
Except for the fact that all the controls are upside down and backwards, it works pretty well!

Seven out of ten times that we drive past Robson, it is covered in cloud. But when itâs out, it has to be one of the most scenic stretches of road in the world. The highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, Robson towers above everything around it a 3,954 m (12,972 ft). Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
One summer evening I was having a very challenging time, intensely battling the long-term, ongoing mental health struggles I face each moment of each day. I felt like I couldn’t do anything and also felt like I couldn’t do nothing. Somehow I pushed myself to go outside at sunset. I just started walking down our gravel road in an effort to try to stay somewhat active and try to cope. I had the idea to experiment with ICM (intentional camera movement) by using a slow shutter speed to capture the motion as I was walking. I can’t really put it into words how this was helpful for me. Though the images are very abstract, to me they’re beautiful because they show that I was standing and moving forward even when it felt impossible and I had no idea how I would survive. After I used this method one evening I also naturally repeated the process a few other nights within the next couple weeks as a way to try to help myself cope and survive.

even the co-operation and investment of Etihad eventually couldn't save Air Berlin.

For me these images contain a lot of meaning. They are an abstract documentation that I engaged in the challenging work to stand and keep moving forward—both externally and internally—when this felt impossible because of the intense struggles I was experiencing at that moment. I tend to find some symbolism in these images. The blur and lack of clarity reminds me the path of growth and healing feels so unclear, foreign, unknown, even scary, overwhelming, very difficult and challenging. And though the journey doesn’t always seem completely visible, one thing I do know is God’s faithful presence and the kindness and care of the small group of very supportive people in my life is with me. That taking one tiny step at a time really is a big thing. It is often excruciatingly difficult and those tiny steps do add up—I’ve seen reassuring proof of this over time. And I still have many moments when I want to quit, that it all seems like too much for me. Sometimes I have to rest (though I find that for me, even rest can require work)—which itself is even a form of moving forward.

it was a great winter adventure back in 2017. We used to go camping on a first day of the year. It's quite different from summer trips. Forest is silent and transparent at that time. I wish we go camping more often.
the car is quite old but famous :)

You are standing, you are taking steps, you are moving forward at a time when it seems unmanageable. It seems as though it’s impossible for any other person to truly understand how much work, energy, bravery and courage this “little,” basic act requires of you, how incredibly challenging it can be. Even though this is contrary to what you had been led to believe, maybe during this time it’s important for you to notice how much you are investing and accomplishing, what a victorious moment this is for you and to remind yourself of this fact rather than criticizing and condemning yourself for all you’re unable to achieve. Though it appears small and insignificant, perhaps this moment needs to be recognized in a truthful, grace-filled manner.

This is a motion blur picture of myself walking in our yard showing my old, worn out, blue shoes I use for practical purposes like working (or playing) outside, against the grass in the yard that was slowly turning from brown to green which I’d taken within the past few months (4/11/2022) as a way to try to help myself cope. This morning I’d faced some intense body memories along with deep emotional struggles and was so worn out and debilitated I had no idea how I’d manage to do my regular 30 minutes of walking. Not sure how but eventually I stood, then slowly walked—a surprising victory in that moment. As I pushed myself to keep walking I remembered this picture I had taken a few months ago. Then these words written above began to come to mind which helped give me strength to keep standing and taking each challenging step.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to visit and comment on my work this past year. And thanks for always inspiring.
Happy New Year!
