Fresh Eyes

I have been feeling stagnant lately, both artistically and personally.  In my search for inspiration and motivation to move while the munchkin was sleeping, I began to look through old vacation photos.  Once upon a time, I hated photos that did not have people in them.  I saw them as valueless.  How could they possibly help preserve a memory when there was no face attached?  My feelings changed about two years ago as I began a deeper exploration of my artistic self.  I began snapping buildings, did a flower study, photographed the beautiful and odd around me.  While I am certainly not a professional behind the lens, taking a tour of these photos, these preserved little moments of beauty has helped freshen my eyes.
