'That's nice' I thought.
One of the worst things of living in the Blue Mountains is the small community... and yet one of the very best things about living in the Blue Mountains is the small community!
Whilst we support each other, there are others here who just don't 'get it'. There are 4 degrees of separation in the mountains. Want to talk about people behind their backs? Guarantee you they'll hear about it.
Peter Brock once said 'What other people think of me is none of my business'...
And so I embrace this Brockism.
I don't care what other people think of my work or my life.
I simply don't care. I do it because it makes me feel fantastic. It fulfils me.
I don't do what I do because I'm seeking your approval. The only approval I need is my own.
Grab your passion and explore all of it. Live. You're a long time dead.
ohhh that's tragic :( i think your photography is divine...
ReplyDeleteThanks Info.
ReplyDeleteI think creative people often have to deal with criticism although for others, it seems to be a way of life.
It's the criticism - implied or otherwise that keeps many talented & creative people (and I include myself in this) from expressing themselves and putting their work out there in the public domain. Your attitude is exactly right - who cares what other people think - they are thinking while you are doing. Congratulations on your work and your example of "just doing it". You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. You're right... if you're creative in any way, then we have enough self criticism from the start. Having other people judge us is just icing on the cake that we don't need.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful work. I would love to see it out and about a little more. : )
