I am one of those people who have to work on a pretty daily basis to keep my direction going and the projects flowing. It is work for me.
So now, I am facing two huge deadlines- a show starting Sept. 1st and our guild show Oct. 3 and 4. Not done. And hard to move ahead quickly on the remaining projects. Despite notes and sketches, I am like "what was I thinking? What does this mean?"
On vacation in the Adirondacks, I took a class with the masterful Kurt Gardner on photographing sunrises. I brought home over 300 photos taken in a three hour window. Most are not good, but I was learning and adjusting the camera like crazy to follow the swiftly changing conditions. I did take them all off the camera and labeled them.
Before I show photos of the art quilts I am working on, here are some ADK (Old Forge, NY) lovelies from my workshop, no retouch, with my old Canon DSLR.

Wow, wonderful photos.....beautiful view. You put a lot of stress on yourself, so deep breathe and take one step at a time. Do what you can and enjoy, and the rest will have to wait. Life is for enjoying not proving you are super-woman.
I long to capture photos like yours. Guess that's NEVER going to happen with an Android phone camera!! Sigh...
Beautiful photos! And I know what you’re talking about- I’ve just had 3 weeks of children and grandchildren coming and going and I’m having trouble getting restarted. I lost my momentum, groove, something?
Your photos are wonderful Linda. The views are really awesome! There is a view of the mountains behind our house that is so beautiful that I wish I could paint just so I could capture all of it. You have done a fantastic job with your photos.
Beautiful Images!!! Really stunning - and hopefully you will get back into the swing of things - I understand about wanting to work every day - it does help. Allow your self a little time to get back to where you were - Hugs
I had a hard time reading - "It is work for me." I wish I knew how to get you to change that to "It is PLAY for me." - or - "It is FUN for me." Since I retired - I try not to WORK much - except for "chores" that never seem to do themselves - LOL - life is too short to not ENJOY doing what you do - ;))
What if you change "work" to "passion" -- that has helped me a great deal. Absolutely stunning photographs -- you created such beauty even while on vacation. Looking forward to seeing more of them.
Your photographs are magical Linda! You do sound to have had a busy time lately and it does take time to get back into our usual routines. I like the idea from Julie of changing "work" to "passion" - in spired.
