Snow leopard moment (Walter Mitty)⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Sometimes taking the shot detracts from the moment. ⁣⁠
My time in Cornwall with my son @Ewandraws was very special. But as we drove the 12 hours home he commented that we hadn’t got any photos of us surfing together. ⁣⁠
Sometimes, I just like to enjoy the moment. I wanted to run straight into the water: as opposed to taking my phone or camera with me, setting up picture, making sure it had taken, and then finding somewhere to leave it ….. Familiar feeling ? ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I just wanted to live those previous moments instead. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Just for info ; some of the best moments of this week included paddling out back together and the thrill of the sheer speed, when I accidentally crashed into his board and we got hooked up together for quite a while before wiping out 🙂 And lying on our boards riding back into shore, exhausted after a sunset surf. All these moments are imprinted in my memory.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
So todays picture is a random surfer who unwittingly posed for me on Polzeath beach this week! ⁣⁠

Negative beliefs ⁣⁣🍃
We are often our own worst enemy - hear that a lot? It's because it true. Our negative beliefs that have been driven into us via parents, teachers, friends and culture often mean we talk ourselves out of pursuing what we really love. ( swipe for article currently in Professional Photo mag) ⁣⁣
But they are just beliefs - not reality. So regain your own belief in yourself! Do that by regularly doing the thing that makes you feel bold and confident. Whatever that is. Go and add it to your everyday life until your negative beliefs become just “beliefs”⁣⁣
Add in surrounding yourself by people who uplift and give you energy and then you are on a winning streak.Start today as it’s never too late x⁣⁣
⁣
Join me on a Ladies Day; finding inspiration for creativity in conjunction with @boshamgallery in Chichester on 4th Nov 2019. Dm for details. ⁣

Creative breaks. ⁣🎸⁠
⁣⁠
I'm here in Cornwall with my 18 year old son and feeling so blessed to be here with him - not only because he actually still wants to travel with me but because he appreciates the simple quiet life as well. A really basic caravan by the beach, some fabulous cooked breakfasts in beach cafes, the thrill of surfing and that exhausted / happy feeling after, cosying up later with a film and a decent meal. Food takes on a very special taste after 3 hours in the water! ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Ewan spends the evening playing guitar or drawing whilst I am writing or reading, coming up with ideas and thoughts that wouldn’t have happened at home. I usually do these trips alone but I am taking two weeks with one son on each trip this October and combining family time with creative time. My appreciation of my life and wonderful family increases as the boys grow and my lifestyle becomes every year more in tune with who I was meant to be.⁣⁠

Quiet but powerful. 🌊⁠
The sea relentlessly sends waves forward, always present and never failing to deliver. Some of the common traits of introverts include long term dedication, persistence and understated sense of purpose. ⁠
One of the series of images shot on the Isle of Islay this summer, on display at @boshamgallery⁠

Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them we wouldn't have Paypal, Harry Potter, the theory of relativity or Microsoft. ⁠
⁠
Yet so often the louder and more outgoing win the day, whereas the contemplative and quietly well-informed tend not to get a word in. ⁠
⁠
This image is part of my exhibition at Bosham Gallery where the quiet did indeed get a word in 🙂 The exhibition is based around quiet within nature and personality. Over the next month or so I will be posting more thoughts on introversion, creativity and the power of quiet.⁠

Cornwall ⁠
I am en route to cornwall at the moment with my 18 year old son for a little time out and research into the seascape potential!⁠
⁠
Luckily he has inherited my introvert traits and is very happy to head to an extremely quiet area with little to do except surfing. I know that when I go off somewhere like this, I always end up doing some very creative work - writing, photography, painting, thinking. He is armed with his guitars and his composing kit, so we make a great pair. ⁠
Will keep you posted! ⁠
