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.

During today's hike I asked my sister to jump into a puddle for the sake of a picture and realised it was blurry. We had to do it again.. And again. At the end of it we've got this shot and some ruined shoes. Thank you sis!

Got to spend a few hours on the 241 toll road in California because people think they are driving speed boats in the rain.
Took advantage of the view!
The Price Paid by Pakistan in Afghanistan War:
Pakistan is fighting a proxy war for the last so many years and is yet directionless about what conclusions it would draw. Since 2003, close to 3,000 Pakistani soldiers have died in combat, while another 9,180 have been wounded, greater than the combined death toll among Nato forces in Afghanistan. Nearly 10,000 have been wounded. This death toll is a clear hint at Pakistan’s sincere efforts to eliminate militancy and extremism from the region.
There are so many tale to tell, so many experiences to share that changed the life of people and snatched away what they had. The brutal reality of the war is that wounded soldiers feel written off, all ambitions having been capped. One such story is of an army soldier Zaheer Abbas who lost all that he had until a few days ago and is under treatment in AFIRM. According to him, he and his squad were hunting down militants in the outskirts of Darra Adamkhel, a town in northwest Pakistan famous for its weapons workshops, when they suddenly found themselves under a surprise volley of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). He recalled that when he fell to the ground, his fellow soldiers rushed to surround him. “I felt nothing, no pain, but as I looked down, I saw myself in a pool of blood, I lost both my legs below the knee and two of my dearest friends,””. He is one such example of what Pakistan is going through, how it is fighting against militancy, what is it sacrificing in the name of US do more policy against militancy. But this is one example, there are so many other examples hovering over the chapter of our war against terror. If this is not enough, the Armed Forces Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (AFIRM) has so many stories of shattered dreams to tell. It tells how people not just lost their limbs but also their dreams of serving the nation, fighting militancy and are forced to life they never thought of. The largest number of soldiers that come to the institute have had amputations, Each year the amputees are increasing.
However, US remains oblivious to what Pakistan is doing against militancy and how selflessly it is fighting to reinforce peace in the region. It is every now and then linked with terrorist networks. Leon Panetta Called these militant groups “a veritable arm of ISI”. Having seen all this one wonders what exactly is it that US wants Pakistan to do when its already leaving no stone unturned to thwart off the militants. Now a question arises, after years of fighting this war, What more can Pakistanis do?” The answer to this question yet remains a mystery as not even US has uttered a word to unfold it.
