I’ve just been reading my last reflective post which was some time ago. I’m back at work now and like many adjusting to the new normal which is strangely intense. I’ve recognised in the past week speaking to patients that we are going to have to be aware of our mental health issues. I’ve been down to the coast with my camera, in the wind and rain which is my way of coping with anxiety. I’m grateful to have photography in my life.
The good news is that I’ve finally submitted my essay for Assignment Four. I’ve done plenty of academic writing in my time so I thought I would be able to complete it quite easily. How wrong I was. It was very difficult but a good learning experience. I feel like it’s put me on a certain path with regards to photographic theory. It’s made me realise that photography is everything i.e politics, sociology, psychology, history and everything really.
My next task is to go back and do Assignment Three. I thought I would be a bit further on by now but time has been behaving strangely. I think when all’s said and done, I’m doing ok but I do have brief moments where I feel like I’m just failing miserably at everything.
Keep going, it turns out alright in the end!
