Bridging The Gap


I don't know what my problem's been lately...it's like, I dunno...I'm stuck...or nervous...or something....

Over the last few days (weeks, really), I've been using every excuse imaginable, to get out of takin' new pics....and I mean, some of it has been totally legit - seriously. Things have come up that have demanded my immediate, and undivided attention - but even still......it's so not like me to let my art (and my blog) take this much of a backseat to, well - pretty much anything other than my kids. I've just felt kind of immobilized lately...by insecurity wrought from a strange sense of trepidation...

Luckily for me though, I have this one very close friend who is the absolute best at getting me out and about to explore - on our motorcycles, and on foot...and he always leads me to the most delicious locations...places where I can't help but feel inspired to shoot...and for that I must say - Thank You, E.!

  2. I'm so glad that you managed to overcome your feeling of not wanting to do anything in your art field. This new picture is wonderful. The concept is beyond my imagination. I would have seen the two logs separated by a few feet, and walked on.
    You, on the other hand, could see that this called for a "bridge" to connect the two. And having such a great body doesn't distract from the idea in any way. Go Lauralyn. Keep giving us pictures from your amazing insight.

    And I also like you out-take from this session. Tucked up between the two logs, forming a whole, with the contrast between your smooth self and the rough bark! Undeniably inspired.

    1. @Raymond - I wish I could say that I've kept up the momentum since doing this shoot, but I've been beyond distracted by so many other things going on in my life right now - that I've once again let practically everything else take precedence over my art...I'll come back around again soon though, I've no doubt...I go crazy if too much time passes between shoots...

  3. The look on your face in this picture is quite serene. Sort of like a quiet wood nymph waiting for spring. Do your wings come out with the leaves?

  6. By the way, I am thinking that your loyal readers deserve a couple of shots involving your motorcycle.

    1. @Ted - Dude...I have been plotting a motorcycle shoot ever since the day that I brought the derned thing home! I know exactly what I want to do, just haven't quite figured out WHERE I can do it without killing myself...or anyone else for that matter. Rest assured though, it WILL happen - I promise!
