For eight months, I called it a 'creative rut.' Eighteen years ago. I couldn't pick up a brush, couldn't make myself want to. Then one day I picked up a camera, went on a walk, and something clicked. Here's what I learned about the difference between blocked and empty. And why the path back is rarely more effort.

I'm not sure what it is, but the camera knows real wood. So when I needed a bench for filming overhead tutorials, I went down the workbench rabbit hole and landed on butcher block. The story is a bit on the longish side, but it's a good one. Puffy eye and all.

Every detail in this image is intentional. The light, the smoke, the way the fabric drapes on the chairs. Small choices that create the feeling you see here. In this new series, I'm breaking down those choices ⋯ one image at a time.
