“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” – Sylvia Plath
I am excited to announce that I have chosen a theme for my second photography project. My intention is a 52-week project, called Creativity52, where I will create a weekly blog post, containing at least one image from my photographic efforts and my thoughts on creativity that resonate in the week. I believe that creativity is essential for us to find meaning for ourselves and connect with others. Though photography is my main medium for creativity, I hope my thoughts on creativity will be a source of understanding or even a spark of inspiration for other creators and, especially, for those thinking they aren't creative.
Besides excitement to start this new effort, I also feel apprehension. Recovery52 started with a bit of fear. I had not done such a project before. I doubted my skills and conviction. I questioned my knowledge and ability to guide others in recovery. Over time I developed my confidence and certainty of my efforts. But now I am starting at the beginning of a project with a new focus, addressing a subject that so many others can speak to with more knowledge, experience, and eloquence. So, I admit to self-doubt now, but I believe there is room for one more voice in the chorus.
The Recovery52 project was a good experience in time and resource management, a way of being accountable to myself and others for meeting schedules, a vehicle for improving my writing and photo editing skills, and, most importantly, a way to focus on understanding myself, my behaviors, and my choices while working on recovery from alcohol abuse. I am proud of the project, but I will remain humble as I know that recovery work is never finished
