Funny, I sat down looking to write, to somehow express, the weird or the wild goings on in the world of Boudicah and began to realize just how pedestrian the last six months has truly been.
I think I have become more 'self critical' over the last six months — I can find fault in nearly every picture I take these days. Some of that is the changes that come with time, some changes due to Parkinson's and some probably just due to the high standards I set for myself with Boudicah ... I imagine that last bit will have the Porn Police in gasps of laughter that any woman who expresses her own sexuality should have any kind of standards.
And maybe I could even argue that 'standard' is not the correct choice of wording, but it's what I am going with.
There is a sense of "duplication," when you take thousands of nude and semi-nude shots ... a sense of seen that, done that. I search DA and find new ideas or not even new, but perhaps just inspiring ideas ... and many of them require a certain aesthetic or location or lighting that I just haven't had.
I have been rearranging the basement back to where I had it at one point with the southern-exposed room that gets a good deal of natural sun into my 'photo room.'
I hope that that will pay dividends in the weeks to come and that perhaps I begin to find a new direction with the natural light.
Maybe a return of soft, black & white pics that I so enjoy.
It's been three years on DA and a little over a year since my mom died, so I keep hoping that maybe some new muse will inspire or delight me in the way DA once did. I even sold another zip set the other day and was pleasantly surprised ... since I have been so infrequent in my active here.
I don't think I have put up more than 20 pictures this year and none of them hit the same level as what I was able to produce — with Pirate's help — over the first two years.
Pirate has mostly withdrawn from production — although he did pitch in the other night. But I wasn't really happy with the end results ... just too generic. Too average.
And maybe that is me being overly critical, or judgmental. But I didn't come away from the pictures thinking, 'yes, I really dig this one, or that one.'
And, also, that is not to say I didn't like the pictures, they simply weren't DA kind of pics. They seemed some how randomly plain. Just ... yeah, okay.
Maybe it is all in my head. 
What is the Latin? ... This too shall pass ... I forget. If I ever knew it.

Okay, off to other ventures and things in my world. 
Peace,
Boudicah
