I want to say that Black lives matter. Police brutality has gone on for far too long. Systematic racism is real and racism is still prevalent in today in right now. I believe in BLM and the reform of most government systems that perpetuate the oppression of BIPOC.
With the Covid pandemic and the injustices in the states right now, I have been off of photography. I have had to rethink everything I was going to do in the next few months. I had to sit with myself and ask what I wanted to do next. I had to ask myself what career I wanted. I never seriously thought about the word career. I have been living life by taking the next steps I was expected to take and the steps I felt like doing in the moment without thinking about my future. I asked myself if I was selfish with my life intentions. I thought about my impact on the people close to me and their impact on me.
I have been soul searching
Truthfully…It’s been slow and painful. But I’ve learned a handful of wise lessons from some ‘masters’, who I call my friends. They each gave me an idea to think about
to have drive
to be genuine
to have passion
This tune came to me in my discover weekly, but I feel like I’ve heard about Paul Desmond before. I don’t really know him or his work well. I love the way I feel peaceful and moved by his alto sax. I found out that George Benson plays the guitar on the tune. He knocked it out of the ring with his part. Just like the tittle of the tune -it’s short and sweet.
My friend Connor and I were hiking near Boone, NC when we spotted this tiny tree basking in sunlight. The JPEG does not do it justice. I am still trying to figure out how to get my RAW images to come out clearer when I export them as a JPEG.
