I think it's all any of us can do - work from the heart for oneself primarily and if the occasional image chimes with someone else then it's fantastic.

I was so chuffed to hear you speak about my photographs last week and to realise that you completely understood. I think that's all that any of us can hope for. The comments you made were 100% spot on, you saw the ambiguities and the gaps left for the viewer to fill in. You got the mystery and the magic which I feel and try to show.

I can't tell you what a turnaround it was for me to arrive at that wet plate collodion workshop at Carl's house and meet you and Alex etc. Really almost life changing. You are someone who has helped keep me on the bus and I really appreciate your support,kindness and understanding.

These depths that every soul has deep in them can be tapped into. But it is difficult to do so.<br /><br />I think your works are a triumph. <br />I take great delight and pleasure from them. ruddy_rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051367210317289986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957537387682607217.post-66287266230392255672012-09-19T08:57:56.049+01:002012-09-19T08:57:56.049+01:00So pleased that you have written this blog Lucy - ...So pleased that you have written this blog Lucy - because we have talked privately I understand exactly what you are saying & where you are coming from. I can't imagine anyone who is trying to create art doesn't struggle at some point, if not all the time. If we are just going out to take pictures of what we see, then that's nots so hard, but if we are trying to convey something we feel in a visual way, that is difficult. I hadn't realised you had only been photographing for 3 years - look how far you have come in such a short period of time. The fact you know what you don't want means you are at least half way there and finding your voice xxDeborah Parkin Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178448264826225881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957537387682607217.post-35429498453648290262012-09-18T22:13:01.445+01:002012-09-18T22:13:01.445+01:00John - Eric Idle said many things including “Bear ...John - Eric Idle said many things including “Bear in mind the simple rule, X squared to the power of two minus five over the seven point eight three times nineteen is approximately equal to the cube root of MCC squared divided by X minus a quarter of a third percent.

Though my images may be more traditional than your own lovely style I see much of myself in the angst you talk about. It's sometimes difficult to determine if you're trying to plough your own furrow or running from the challenge of doing the same - or worse recreating - as 'everyone else'. Having started to find a feel for my own style I'm currently self analysing to see if it says anything new or is just derivative. A similar but much less thought provoking post is currently in draft on my own blog. I'm glad you've found your voice and confidence both here and in your images.Duncan Fawkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690320512982770967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957537387682607217.post-20292693750977906612012-09-18T16:25:30.834+01:002012-09-18T16:25:30.834+01:00I think that a blog is an excellent way to write d...I think that a blog is an excellent way to write down what is in your mind and help build up a way of thinking about photography that is yours alone.
