Why did I stop?
Today I am reconnecting with my own past, through the golden sunshine July morning. I am lying on my sofa with my baby sleeping across me. I am looking up at the images that my partner and I hung on our walls this weekend.

Hi - it's been a while. These pictures are from Shetland, Scotland. They are just off my PC without thought for order or quality - I just want to deposit them somehow. I love the blue and the industry and the shapes formed from the utility of the machine.
Some little part of my brain is revived from thinking about angles and industry. Nice to feel it back.

Through various practices in my life at the moment, I am getting better at understanding what it means to meditate - or what it means to me: going into myself, searching for the quieter tuned in side of existing. I am thinking about how this state has happened by itself in my past, and always accompanied by great creative inspiration.

First you take a photograph because the image inspires you - you see something in that particular view that suits being photographed.
Then time passes and when you return to the image it seems uninteresting. Disappointingly, you cannot remember why it seemed a good idea to take this photograph.
Then, you find the image when you go through your photographs from the past and it interests youAdeline Luna Bladonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09191963297163287430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724463068339764294.post-74703939978529050772014-07-14T08:06:00.000+01:002014-07-14T10:42:56.863+01:00Seeing Swifts
Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humour is just common sense, dancing.

sky is a sign of a beautiful day to come.
Swifts, tumbling,

There's been a process unfolding within and around me, as I adjust to having a new home, and fill it physically and psychically.
Encouraged by a lovely compliment from Rita Evans - I begin to let more of the fruits of this process appear on here.
I have felt as if my home space has become the outer limits of my psyche, and within these walls all is creativity and play.

I just went on a short trip to Bornholm, Denmark.
It was the first time I've had in a long while to reconnect with photography and nature.
I came away wondering what a critical photography practice of mine would look like...
Critical - i.e. that problematises, that raises questions, that delimits (as I understand it).

I had the good fortune to visit a small island in an estuary recently, somewhere in Essex (for a dear friend's birthday). The memory that particularly stands out is waiting for the tide water to go down, in the pitch black, as if I am standing in the middle of the estuary, while geese chat to each other across the way - their strange noises all around me.
