I decided I couldn’t hold off much longer sharing the images I shot from #PPC2018. So here is the very first image I shot there on my first day. We all built a gigantic birds nest (a total dream come true for me). I miss it all dearly. I’m almost done editing through everything I shot there- and I don’t want it to end because it feels like the only piece left that’s hasn’t ended yet. But more on that later.

I have always dreamed out of doing a flour shoot and for whatever wild reason- I had yet to do it until PPC. We gathered for our photo walk with Brooke on day 2 and two different shoots happening with flour and it was wonderful. I was so mesmerized watching them dance around with the flour.

Here is from our second day at PPC. This was taken during Brooke's workshop. I really wasn't sure if this was going to turn out when I was shooting it. But, sure enough, it turned out and it really is one of my favorite images from my whole trip.

This is from our very last photo walk together during Promoting Passion. I got to photograph so many different things that I've had on my dream list for so long and got to learn so many different things while doing so.

When I was a kid I was mildly obsessed with Greek mythology. There was something so human and imperfect about these immortals that I found much more relatable than the cold and distant God I was raised with. (Although my feminist adult self is not at all thrilled at how many of the ladies fared in the myths.)

One story that frightened me more than any other was the story of Persephone. After all, she is kidnapped by Hades to become his bride of the underworld.

Through the lens of the religion I was raised in, I saw a young woman becoming engulfed in darkness and the bride to a devilish figure, bound there by her succumbing to the temptation of the food to the underworld. That seemed the ultimate metaphorical punishment for straying from the path I had been raised to follow.

It wasn’t until many years later when I began to rediscover Greek mythology in my adulthood that I began to understand that Persephone represents something other than a punishment for temptation.

As an adult I also see a woman who sees in the shadows and understand both the mysteries of the darkness and the light as well as the cycles of birth and death.

She may not have chosen all of her circumstances for herself - she is the victim of a terrible circumstance in many ways. But she also represents the renewal and hope of the spring to come, and a woman who owns her power despite the circumstance.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to share my story as a speaker at #ppc2018. One thing I hope I conveyed is that there is a Hades in all of our stories who has plunged us down to our deepest levels of despair. We may return there over and over in our lives.

But we can also draw strength from those dark places. We have faced down things that give us incredible tools of compassion, empathy and resilience.

And we know that no matter how dark it gets, there will always be spring.
