Darkness

Initially, I wasn't going to post the pictures from this shoot because they are a bit different from my normal style and I didn't want to confuse people as to what type of work I produce.

But, I decided I was going to go for it because I have an emotional connection to these pictures because they say so much. Sometimes, I feel like pictures act as diary entries... one day I will look back at these pictures and remember exactly how I felt when I took them. Life isn't always perfect. There are dark times. I have come to appreciate the darkness when it comes, because I know that it adds contrast to the light. How would I ever recognize light if I hadn't seen darkness? In the dark, I am alone, and everything is empty. That is the time to think about everything and truly get creative.

I enjoy spending the majority of my time in the light, but occasionally I crave being alone, crawling into the darkness and thinking for a while. I am slowly learning to embrace the unavoidable darkness when it comes.
