While driving home from dinner tonight I thought about what has changed for me about my photography and how I approach things differently now.

I had the realization that I allow more of my emotional state to show in my pictures than I did two or three years ago. I'm a very romantic and idealistic person and I always have the tendency to only show positive and good things in my work and selectively leave out things I didn't like and that I didn't want to be part of the story I am telling with my photography.

Now I realize that I allow that in more. That's also me and therefore should be part of my artistic work. This is something that feels very important to me. In a way it's about being more truthful to myself.
