Everyone gets sick from time to time. Thankfully it doesn’t happen too often, but when sickness arrives, it can knock you off your feet. It’s not lost on me that being a business owner allows me a certain freedom to recover at home. Not everyones’ jobs are so flexible. So, when you are laid up in bed, letting your mind wander, you are actually giving yourself space for creativity to happen because let’s face it, there’s nothing else to do except get better.
That’s exactly what happened for a few days this past winter. I started to recover, but was not well enough to get out in the real world again so I explored some nooks and crannies inside Tett House. And you know what? I started seeing clearly with a camera to my eye.
So thank you (temporary) sickness: you let me explore for an hour, free of deadlines and client commitments. I’m able to look back on these photos remembering a nice late afternoon making photographs, not that my body was feeling gross at the time.
