You may have noticed that I haven’t posted many new articles lately. It isn’t because of lack of content; I’ve currently only edited personal work up to July so I still have a lot of new work to share. It is, rather, that I am rehabilitating a hand injury that has become a roadblock to shooting, typing, and playing guitar. You know, just the main things I do to make a living and for personal enjoyment. 🙂
Having something small get in the way of my work (like a hand injury) was frustrating at first. There is always a silver lining though, and I have come to appreciate this quiet period of time away from the creative process. I am viewing this break as an opportunity to be with family, to re-charge as a person and to get inspired by the world around me again. I’ve been making notes, conceptualizing ideas, storyboarding projects, and I’m excited by the possibilities once I have full use of my hand again. People often have a fear of missing out on things or of falling behind, but the truth is that breaks are good.
…and in the meantime?
Well, I have a lot of photo essays sitting on my computer that I haven’t posted yet. They are random and diverse, and I’m going to use this opportunity to post several of them over the next few weeks. We will start today with a collection of new images from the Toronto street photography workshop that I taught this past July
I hope you like them!
Cheers,
Ian
