This season of my life is about:
sharing and exploring different ways to be creative
continuing to grow
being present
enjoying life while doing the above
One activity that allows me to be present is making time-lapse videos. I learned how to make them from scratch with a DLSR Camera, but, I really like the convenience of using my cell phone.
I make time-lapse videos from almost anything that goes through a visual transformation. Clouds are one of my favorites. I’ve also captured stuff like flowers blooming, candles burning, or ice as it melts.
On creativity:
It’s one of the ways I connect with my ancestors.
Whether it’s in the kitchen or with a brush and paint, my ancestors inspire me.
When I’m being creative, I’m in the present moment.
With so much massive change, information overload, misinformation, conflict, chaos, new technology, new ideas, violence, and so much more going on around the globe, being present is a superpower. Being present is a necessity.
I’m not 100% present all of the time, but I am on a journey to it becoming my dominant essence. Are you coming with me?
