{weekend stories} :: after the break

May 30, 2011 filed under: hello twiggs personal, personal, photography, this weekend

hello lovely friends, how are you doing? i am back! i am so thrilled to be back! but first let me thank all of you that left sweet and encouraging words on my last post, mentioning that i would be taking a break for about three days. after all, it ended up being one and a half week. well, i was much in need for this time. when last monday arrived and i was supposed to be back, i was just not ready. i was still tired, i had not done anything that i wanted, just resting a bit here and there. and i knew that i had to keep myself on that break for another week. as i mentioned on that last post, losing all my portfolio was a very bad experience for me. a learning one as well, but i think that i was in shock for a few days. i was completely lost, though i had so many ideas, i was lacking the strength to put them in action. i needed to be creative without any pressure at all. i needeed the time to take my walks, without even looking at the clock (well, i had to due to mr. kobe, of course!)… i also needed the time to organize my ideas and give that boost to my business. i needed the time to learn and develop my skills  with the new camera, and i also needed the time to read a dozen photography magazines that a friend had lent me, and so i did… i walked, i thought, i organized, i took pictures, i had some sun, i read… and now i am ready to move on to another level. here a few images from my several walks through lisbon… this one is dedicated to flowers.

and also dedicated to you that keep me going and feeling encouraged to do my work, in the best way i can and dream of. you are amazing and i am so honoured to have a bit of your time every day. thank you! see you ion a while with an interview!

    consigo perceber porque é que demoraste a voltar, perder todas as fotografias não pode ser algo fácil com que lidar – já quase que me aconteceu e lembro-me perfeitamente da sensação. mas agora, força :) qual é a tua máquina nova? *
