๐ Seasons bring change. Apparently, so do midlife crises.
I've decided recently that things need to change. Or maybe I'm just having a midlife crisis. Who fu***ng knows? ๐
Either way, things could be better, and this autumn photograph got me thinking about change, growth, and finally just being myself.
So, new Instagram page. A bit more personal this time. Less trying to be what I think I'm supposed to be, and more just being the slightly damaged Irishman I've always been.
Expect more photography, more comedy, a bit of life, a bit of growth, and possibly some cooking videos. F**k it, I'm actually quite good at cooking. Might even become a life coach. Imagine taking life advice from me. ๐
Anyway, ADHD and brain damage. Where was I?
Oh aye. The photograph. ๐ธ
This is an older shot from my collection. During lockdown, when there was absolutely f**k all else to do, I spent so much time editing photographs that I think I actually edited the enjoyment out of photography itself.
I pushed the colours, the contrast, the saturation, and probably my own sanity to their absolute limits.
Looking back, some of those photographs have been through more trauma than I have. And that's saying something.
But recently, I've started falling in love with photography again. Going back through old shots, stripping away some of the ridiculous edits, and remembering why I enjoyed taking them in the first place.
Some of these older photographs might still look a wee bit overprocessed, a wee bit too smooth, or a wee bit mental.
But it's Instagram, not the fu***ng National Geographic photography awards. Who cares?
I'm growing. I'm changing. I'm finally learning to be comfortable being myself. It's taken me long enough, but better late than never. Whether this is personal growth or a full-blown midlife crisis remains to be seen. ๐๐
So here's to autumn, new beginnings, personal growth, and whatever the f**k comes next.
If you enjoy my photographs, give them a wee share, follow along, and see where this goes.
And good morning, by the way. โ๐
