choices

outcast, originally uploaded by Justin Davis Davanzo.

there are so many things to choose from...i am reminded of this while working on the final cuts for this photo show, but it reminds me of the same thing in life...really a good problem to have on some accounts, although there are times when I wished I could just be one thing...you know, like the kid who wants to be a doctor and thats it...then when I think of that truly, it bores me...my whole life doing just one thing? ok, so this means what is our life outside of what we do...the things we also love to do that give us that great feeling on a Sunday of "What do i get to do today??" having the ability and choices to do many things that all give you enjoyment...

that is the process i am going through with the pictures...deciding which pictures give me the most enjoyment and not getting too caught up in which ones are the most popular etc...i am trying to choose for myself first and let things occur. Of course this has been a huge learning curve...realizing that my initial vision of shooting and staying small is only one facet of the photos. So, for some, i have not been able to go as big as I would have liked, but that is ok, because it is forcing me to be creative in other ways...

I have great respect for those artists who are constantly showing their work with clear vision and statements. I am struggling with that myself and as it goes, it gets a bit clearer, but then I think of something else i could do and then I get all turned around...i think staying open to the experimental aspect of this process is the key. Don't count anything or any idea out...be open to all pieces....

and so it goes.

Love and Understanding.
