Thanks very much for following - as I write this post I note that bon mardi has attracted over 20,000 views in four years which is pretty cool. Your interest has been a happy accident on my road to creative fulfilment. And one thing I have learnt in the last four years is that happy accidents can be the catalyst for amazing things.
The other things I have learnt? In taking on two degrees at this stage of my life, I have learnt that I continue to be capable of doing anything I desire and that photography, as well as being a rewarding career and pastime in itself, can also be a treasure trove of inspiration for many, many other areas of work. Armed with my various cameras, I look forward to the possibilities of a career in design, academia, curatorial roles, communications or the production of art itself. And these are just the tip of the iceberg... it really is on me as to where I go from here. I have never felt more full of potential.
Finally, I have learnt that I AM the luckiest woman alive - because I am surrounded by love which informs all my craft and makes each of my days that little bit easier to get through. So to those whom I love and love me:
thank you
Don't let anybody tell you different, man: the main goal in life, career-wise, should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.
Bon Mardi out. |
