It never rains but it pours! shocked

First, bunnirab and I shot a set which has just gone live on MR. Go check it out here and leave it lots of love. She is the queen of IBTs!!! lovelovelove

Second, I finished my SoFoBoMo book. SoFoBoMo is the Solo Photo Book Month -- a challenge where photographers are invited to create a book (as a PDF file) in 31 days. You can "plan" before then, but all the shots have to be taken, all the text written, and the book assembled in 31 days. I did it with a day to spare, and am immodestly proud of the result. Please go check it out here. The book is entirely figure studies of the lovely MissSammy. I'll be making an actual printed book this fall. It will have all the content in this book plus lots more pictures and text. Don't have pricing details yet, but feel free to drop me a line if you're interested.



Go show both of these some love. Right now.

That is actually nearly exactly the feeling! I was surprised the whole time while reading your description of it, because .. ironically, it did that very thing for me [only, regarding itself and not my topic, unfortunately] -- made me think of it in terms of .. the way a water drop finds its first path down your skin, and then over and over, no matter how many times you try to slide a water droplet down another path, it will go the same way it first went. Over and over and over, down what's familiar. Where it's been already. Sometimes even when you start a little to the left or right, it meets up where it'd been previously and follows it down, and you're like. Fuck.

But I totally agree. And this is what I've been trying for [not the water droplets, but you know ;/] -- emptying my brain of the old stuff, shaking it off .. and reapproaching. Because, my old thoughts were so heavily filtered and full of excuses for the situation, full of denial, .. that they are -nearly- untrue anyway. So when I write now I tend to cushion my words with untruths. And I don't want to. Obviously. That will give me zero closure.

That's where the mental block is coming in.

Which is a good thing -- at least the water droplet's not coursing along at top speed down the old path. It's a start.

My favorite. It saved me when I was younger. I've read it countless times now, in completion, and skimmed for the highlighted parts so many others.. that the pages are soft now.
