freelensing | january

i am doing my best to push past these days of feeling less than. they hit me with full force every year around this time. i dusted off my ugly lens today so i could dangle it in front of my camera and make pretty pictures. this is something that has helped me before. it took a while to get in the flow. i had moments of defeat. i thought of quitting. but then i finally saw what i was looking for. the light saw it too. loving you almost as much as me, it gently kissed your shoulder. and i felt more than.

i didn’t think this post was going to happen.  i haven’t freelensed all month.  but i knew i had to try because the ladies in this group astound me with their talent and encircle me with their love and friendship.   i don’t always show my gratitude towards those who matter to me.  pushing on, keeping on even when i don’t feel like it is my way of showing it.   this post is my way.  much love to you ladies.
