I bought a pretty visual diary today. It has a blue fabric cover with the word “create” indented in the corner.
It was from Kikki.K and to be honest, a bit expensive for a book filled with blank paper, but I’m hoping it will be worth it.
I’ve been a bit restless lately, with life in general but my photography in particular. I’ve been bored with what I’ve been doing…. feeling a bit stagnant…
Frustration with my studies and meeting some pretty amazing people lately has given me a bit of the push I needed to get myself out of this rut.
So my visual diary will be for everything inspiring, thought provoking, surprising, and frightening. Everything really.. I’m hoping it will spark some ideas and help others flow. I might even start writing creatively again.. something I used to love but haven’t done since I started this formulaic communications course.. Who cares about the who, what, where, when, why, and how when you can have curiosity and quirkiness that doesn’t necessarily make sense but is far more interesting?
It’s time to break some rules.

I have been feeling the same as of late. Glad to hear I’m not alone.

Can I claim that I helped corrupt you with leopard print?

I hope you can get through it, I think lots of people have times when they feel they’ve stalled a bit.. but it makes it more exciting when you get going again. =)

I hyperventilate in stationery stores – much more exciting than clothes shopping for me!
And there’s nothing like a new diary; blank pages just beckoning for your ideas to spill forth. When I read Lucky’s claim about corrupting you with leopard print, I think of her announcing “you don’t wear leopard print – it wears you!” And ‘Joelene’, you were spectacular!
PS don’t be afraid of the ‘who, what, where’....sometimes even seemingly straightforward details can contain shades of darkness and magic.

Haha, thank you.. I’d forgotten about those things she said, it was so funny.
Stationary stores are fun, although I get just as much excitement out of clothes shopping I have to admit, and thanks, I’ll keep looking for those shades of gray. =)
