I drove to Rhode Island, slept in my car and woke up at 5am to explore this spot. My knee is still healing from a skiing injury and I can’t do my normal sports, so adventuring to take photos of other people doing theirs felt like the next best option. Over the last few weeks I’ve done quite a few photo missions, lately all surfing related. Solo photography missions have always been part of my life. It’s a creative hobby I do just for me. I think it’s easy to get discouraged because the world is saturated with great photographers, but I’ve been remembering lately that photography is really fulfilling when I’m doing it and improving just for me. It’s important to have creative outlets we haven’t monetized, especially if our day jobs are creative too. Photography is one of mine.
