Learning To Let Go

I spent this past weekend photographing a wedding at Fort Clinch; a state park on Amelia Island in NE Florida. The winding drive to the beach brought back so many memories of happy summers in that very park discovering the sea and all it's natural treasures with my son when he was young.

I miss you JT and hope that some day you will be able to visit that same park with your children.

Living in the Airstream you learn to let go of other things as well - space, a sense of privacy, freezer capacity and a few others that don't come to mind just now.

There are a few other things in my professional life that I am learning to let go of as well. To maintain sanity and to provide myself with the ability to move forward with completing my degree I am learning how not to take everything asked of me as my responsibility. And I'm learning to do this with the help of my boss.

But one thing I'm not letting go of is my artistic side - a side of me nurtured and encouraged by my mother. I've recently purchased a new Canon Rebel XTi, a digital SLR camera - I am having SO much fun discovering the digital world. The photo above is Fort Clinch at sunset on August 1st after a storm.

Learn to let go of something ...
Learn to embrace the things you are given ...
Rediscover something your creative side ...
