So December has arrived and so the holidays and vacations for many people. This is my first time in a long time that I am going to enjoy a ¨real¨ Fall and Winter holiday, the weather is what it is most different. Living in Miami for almost two decades you tend to forget about how beautiful everything turns in Fall. Spain turns so beautiful, the trees leaves turn yellow and so other tonalities! and Madrid is filled with people all around the city center, the holiday spirit is right here.
Going back to the my project, this month has been a little weak, in term of getting in touch with people for the photo sessions, as I mentioned before, everyone is on the holiday spirit and family and sharing. So that being said not much time to get together with me. My appointments had been postponed until first week of January which I think is just great. I need some time to add some ideas to what I think is a better approach to my project.
A few weeks ago I had a meeting with the Master´s director. I showed him what I had. He challenged me to challenge myself, he was sure I can come up with a more unique approach that will make my work stand up among others.... and that´s what I want!!!! I needed somebody else to tell me what I already know, sometimes we just need to hear that from someone out of your circle. It is great to have people who love your work but it is even better to have people who love your work but challenge you to make something greater!
He put an example or better said he told me that I am an excellent cook, I know my recipes and how to present a entree that everyone is going to love, however, knowing that my recipe is unfailing he wants me to come up with a new one, one that people would be amazed by it and that's my challenge, to create something new, attractive in a way but that keeps the essence of my work and my vision.
Let´s see how that works, I have some images that are approaching how I am looking at things now....and with another idea I have I feel this is the one that is going.
