Best 13 Of 2013
2013 was an astonishing year. As a matter of fact I am a tad overwhelmed by its image awesomeness! In order to find some layer of completion I like to evaluate my years past. I typically sit with my calendar, my journals, and now that I am image taking - I also scroll through all my photo's. I then ask myself what stood out and why? This year had so many significant moments that it's almost too hard to encapsulate.
Here is my best attempt:

What I can say with confidence about this year is I that I now understand the signature/style of my work. I also am clear that some projects are not a good fit for me, and declining those projects is a gracious way of not getting in over my head. I befriended someone who can produce fine art prints for me that meet my standards as well as being someone I actually enjoy working with. a person vs some mass commodity print shop. I also have been the recipient of some terrific mentorship. The learning curve is beginning to translate into my creativity. It feels really amazing. I have much to learn still. It feels more exciting then ever!!
