Today was the 1st day, since I decided to stop taking photos, that I had a pang of jealousy (no worries to my dear friends, I will still take your pictures if/when you want me).
I know it was the right choice to walk away; family time has taken a great hold on me than the desire to create.
Back to my pang and how it started: I stumbled across this photographers web site and as I scrolled past each image, I began to wish I was still capturing life for others.
Not sure if it was her photos, her editing or just the fact it's been a while since I have looked at pictures; but something really moved in me. Gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, I will pick up my camera down the road (way down the road).
For now, I have to be ok with the choice that I made. I have to remember the reasons I took this new path. I have to be satisfied with where I am right now. I may wish and dream that I was creating images that make me drool or squeal in delight. I may also type a few more "jealous" posts down the road. Because, right now I am just trying to adjust to a life without my camera in hand.
