starting over





if you have followed your way to this blog through the photos on my flickr site, then you are probably aware that i recently deleted everything on my flickr, everything except for this one photo.

yes... all 954 photos... gone.
there isn't a grand explanation of why. it's just sort of a feeling i've had for a while.

it's time to start over.
time to follow after newer ideas and dreams.

it's the beginning of everything for me all over again.

it's exciting and refreshing and to be honest incredibly relieving to not have to look at all of those photos from the past.

there is so much white blankness to fill in, and to inspire with color, shadows, and light.
2009. the year of new beginnings. hear i come.

Yashica A Model. 6x6 120vc Kodak Film. Backlight.

  4. thanks alice :)
    i saw this show once about a cook in spain who is considered to be one of the best in the world. every year he throws out all of his recipes and starts over, even if what he had created in the past had changed the culinary world, to him it was dead. new ideas and new inventions are what was alive to him.
