light in unexpected places

Today I watched a CreativeLive workshop with Brooke Shaden.  She's incredibly inspiring and is offering participants a glimpse of into her world behind the camera as a visual story teller, instilling the gifts of creative license and freedom of expression above all else.

For months, my creative soul has felt cracked and dry as the desert, devoid of inspiration and flow.  But today it rained.  It poured.  My notepad is full of ideas, adjectives, stories.  With camera in my hands, I am full of new potential.

I photographed clouds.

I threw out the should's and doubts and excuses and reconnected with my inner beast - an animal of impulse, aroused from too long of a slumber.  She's hungry.
