Signs we exist in a time of adversity.

The Majestic. By Coastal 2008

Done public talk today and decided to look at the old classic By Coastal, made in Scotland around 2006. It was a time when I felt like a Fine Art Photographer wanting to do something more meaningful than the fancy American landscapes I had been doing. The trip was brutal, but my determination to get something eventually paid off. I wanted to talk about working through adversity and how good things often come out of something bad. In this case it was recovering from spinal surgery and how the actual walking around with a big camera and focusing on something else became part of the healing process, physically and mentally.
