I’m on my way home from Santa Barbara after spend 4 days at *life* {as an artform} a workshop by Jesh De Rox. I’m on the 126 E taking me from Hwy101 to I-5 to get home. I had to pull off to the side of the road to write this down for safe-keeping before it leaves me as a fleeting thought.
This workshop left me with so much to think about. More than being confronted as a photographer, I feel confronted as a person. I was challenged to the core and was asked questions that I haven’t asked myself for a long time or if ever. These are questions that define me as a person, as an artist.
In leaving, we were asked to complete a project within one year, a project that reflects who we are. I came into the week knowing that I have a mad passion for photojournalism, I want to travel the world and tell its stories. So I thought perhaps this project is a way I can start doing this.
But it suddenly dawned on me while I was driving that rather than changing the world, I wanted to change myself first. So here is a series that I will be doing to express the depth of my love to my beloved husband whom I so often take for granted. Stopping each day in the midst of kids and work to think about him and thank him for everything that he is to me through a series of 365 images. One image for each day of the year.
