I give myself permission to just make for the sake of making without any thought to the outcome, which can be surprisingly hard. … What I would tell my younger self is this: There is no ‘right’ way to make art. The only wrong is in not trying, not doing. Don’t put barriers up that aren’t there — just get to work and make something.

I just love inspirational quotes.
The one shared here speaks to how I am feeling at the moment, more so now than ever as I have been still been experiencing some sort of creative rut, but I am taking it as my body just letting me rest/reset for what is to come.
I am choosing to use the #30DayPhotoProject as my excuse to snap out of it and here we are kick-starting the 2023 edition.
I have said it before and I say it again, I started this project as a way to keep myself in the creative bubble. Even when I do not feel like creating or sharing any of my work, I would like for the #30DayProject to continue to be the push I need to keep me motivated. However, there are moments I have found myself wanting to stop the project all together. Will 2023 be the last one?
Anyway, enough rumbling from me.
For the April 2023 edition, I still have rolls of film that I am yet to develop, scan, edit and share with you. What better way to start with what I know best than sharing with you a roll of film images?
With this film roll, I happen to attend a workshop in Photofusion late last year and another early this year. The first was to develop a roll of black and white film and the other was to print in the dark room. Unlike previous film rolls where I had forgotten what images I took, I happen to know some of the images in this one.
As always, if any of the images look decent enough, I will be adding them to my PRINT SHOP later this year.
The Rules
- To post one frame per day.
- No captions. Just the photo.
- All photos from the roll will be posted. Even the ‘dead’ frames.
