Creativity

My last entry was prophetic. After reaching too far and extending my hobby too much I got lost. Life happened and I no longer recognize myself in the photos I take. The long hours spent digging into workflows, minute sharpening details and cropping are not there anymore and the equipment is now used as way too expensive point-and-shoot gear.

And I am much happier.

Photography was an open field to try out my creativity, combining my interest in technology, life and management. I have moved on and photography was an important step on the way. I look back at ~22 000 photos spread over multiple years and it feels... nice. Curiosity, drive and application of the various skills I built led up to them.

What intrigues me now is genuine creativity in the areas that matter most to me. Where the challenge echoes deep and the first fight to simply create a calm space for creativity. Emotions fly everywhere. I find it takes a new approach to planning, to vulnerability and pure damn focus to move the world a step. Daring to stop, to accept and to make something new happen. In photography as well as in life.
