There's a lot to consider here, considering so few words. Where does your satisfaction come from, when you make things? That's a personal question for each of us.
I agree. Most of my photos call to me to be taken. Either a moment to be saved or a moment about to happen. It’s weird but magical. Melissa Gilbert talked about how the Greeks thought of inspiration and creativity as a god-like being and artists just the conduit. When both show up at the same time you have art.
I wish I had written this because it 'resonates' (hideous word, sorry) with everything I feel about photography after a long time of trying to do it 'right'!
Yes! All of this exactly. Intuitive work is always the best but in all the noise it can be tricky to just sit in your intuition and not feel unprepared.
“I wasn’t controlling the moment; I was responding to it.”
“I’ve never felt scattered - just curious. “ - exactly that!
Same same! It's so satisfying to see someone articulate this so clearly!
I sense a wonderful openness here — a kind of depth and flexibility in embracing things as they come.
I’ve been studying emotional intelligence recently, and I feel a strong connection with what she describes.
I can relate to that a lot!!! Thanks!
Green can be a difficult color to work with. Viktoria ha done it quite well.

She articulates this so well. I relate so much with her words and her work. Thank you for sharing it!
sometimes you read a story that could have be mine. Curiosity, trusting yourself and the need to create brings you joy.
I know all the rules and use them if necessary but forget them just as well. Thank you for this enlightening view that I fully endorse.
