Serendipity
According to Wikipedia: Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.
It's derived from Serendip, the Persian name for Sri Lanka. The Persian word itself has been derived from Sanskrit name for Sri Lanka viz. Swarnadweep (Swarna meaning golden and Dweep meaning island)
The word has been translated into many languages (French sérendipicité or sérendipité but also heureux hasard, "fortunate chance"; Italian serendipità; Dutch serendipiteit; German Serendipität; Swedish, Danish and Norwegian serendipitet; Romanian serendipitate; and Spanish serendipia).
Now, let's put aside the definition and etymology of the word. The moment you realise what you've found, eventhough you weren't looking for it... isn't it just fucking fantastic?!

Tears
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love.”

I'm sure there is a word to describe all that, but I can't think of it at the moment. -----------------------------------------------

Plans
You go somewhere for one reason and end up staying for a totally different reason. Don't you love it when plans you didn't make, work out better than the ones you did?

I'm Back
Been going through about a year's worth of photos. Some shoots I haven't even looked at yet! Opening a folder of photos you shot almost 6 months ago is like finding an undeveloped roll of film. It's such a buzz!
Anyway, I hope you like where this is all headed. More tk.

Getting the Ball Rolling Again
I was recently backing up my computer when I realized that I hadn't taken a single photo for at least three months! I couldn't believe it! I had slowly sunk into this rut and become disillusioned with my photography to the point where I hadn't even picked up my camera.
That was my "rock bottom". I reached the point where the only way out was up. In the past week I've shot more than I can remember. At first, the camera seemed foreign in my hand. I had lost touch with what had become an extension of my hand. Fortunately, yes, it is just like riding a bike. I've since shot more than I can remember. I've re-familiarized myself with my camera again. The functions, menu items, button locations and feel that had become second nature to me have all come back. I've taken the damn thing everywhere with me. It's like having gotten back with an old flame and not being able to stop touching eachother. Ok maybe that was a little too dramatic and creepy, but you know what I mean.
Another thing I noticed is how my way of seeing an image has also shifted. I honestly don't know how to explain this one, but something has definitely changed. Perhaps it was having the time away from the camera, or seeing so much of other people's work without creating any of my own. I don't know. However, I'm sure that it's going to start showing in my work.
The only down side to all this is all the editing that's waiting for me on the computer right now. I really need to work on my editing.
I guess the moral of the story is... You know what? I have no idea what the moral of the story is. All I know is that I'm back doing what I love with the passion I thought I had lost, and that's all that counts.

Be Back Soon
I've decided to take "the ground breaking" step of choosing 01/01/10 as the date to change direction, navigate some new waters and throw fuel on the fire like there's no tomorrow.
I've decided to make some major changes both personally and professionally. However, to not jinx them, I'm not going to list them here, but reveal them one by one as they happen.
I'm going to focus on setting up some things and ironing out the details for the next couple of weeks at least, so I'll probably be out of touch here for that time.
I wish you all a wonderful 2010, surrounded by loved ones and filled with good health, happiness and prosperity.
Here's to the start of a fantastic decade, Happy New Year everybody!

Newton and Avedon
Any photographer who says he’s not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar. ~ Helmut Newton
A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion …. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. ~ Richard Avedon
