The images above were from early on in summer when we had plenty of sunshine and not much rain at all. I wanted to see what details and features I could find around the lakes, which most resonated with my thoughts and ideas for my FMP. At this stage I am still very unsure about the direction of my theme. It still feels too broad and I hope to find what I am searching in my mind through the process of shooting, observing and researching as I go. I am very much having to ‘trust the process’ here which feels uncomfortable as I worry whether I am wasting time in heading in the wrong direction. Of course, logically, I know that this is entirely part of the process of exploring practice with new ideas and investigations but it is challenging for me to accept. It is early days, I need a better approach though so I will look into possible avenues for this.
