When you dedicate months of you time to a project, it becomes part of your being, an obsession. It’s a constant roller coaster of emotion, with so many highs and lows. I still have a deep urge to be out all the time looking for moments, birds , tying to bring my ideas to life. But the world has already changed. The mornings are lighter, the days are warmer and there are visitors again in places that only a few weeks ago seemed abandoned.
So much of my life the last few months has been running out of the door at a moments notice when the light has been perfect. Organising my week and my amazing small people around giving me the time to walk about at dawn with no distractions and having to juggle everything so i can be there as the sun sets to follow starlings as they roost. I am finding it difficult to switch off. Even though i have plenty of tasks to keep me ocupied before my hand in i still feel the need to keep shooting. If i see a bird or a beautiful scene in nature i feel the need to add it to my body of work, but the reality is i have finished, for now, and need to let it go. I am confident this series will be a springboard for new projects however it is recieved and i know in my heart i put more of myself into these images than anything else i have ever done. OFF-SEASON
