There I was minding my own business , doing not very much over the festive period and enjoying the process !

The problem was I had time on my hands , time to think … that’s never a good thing , it gives me the opportunity to link the random dots with fragments of life and develop ideas that can lead to photographic activity !

In short I dropped my defenses briefly and became inspired , the question is should I execute this project or pretend not to hear “The Voices” ?

Do you have to keep moving on , when is it okay to do nowt ?

With 2021 behind us and the uncertainty of a new year ahead I have to decide what I want to do during the year ahead , a endless supply of societal challenges lie ahead in 2022 , where to begin ?

I’m not going to even think about New Years resolutions as I don’t have that many bad habits left in my socially distant life, my resolution is to have no resolutions …

Come to think of it my worst habit is taking on small photo projects that grow and end up being bottomless pits of dedication and effort , do I really want to dedicate 2022 to a new project and give birth to another beast of burden ?

The alternative is to dedicate the year ahead to a “feel good” Street Photography approach , I’m not sure that feels right in the current climate of downbeat “Chaos” either ?

What will you do this year , what will your pictures look like , will you engage with the uncertainty of 2022 photographically or take refuge in the safe space of “Feel Good” Street Photography , I’m genuinely undecided at this time …

Whatever you choose to do , best wishes for the year ahead , exercising the right do to nothing might be the sensible option as the Covid crisis continues but “Sensible” is no fun , stay safe !

Happy New Year…
