Uncertainty can often
blur your surroundings.
Unclear.
The map is always there,
the lines signify the path
you need to follow.
You simply have to find
the direction.
It is all in your hands.

Two mornings this past week, early by any standards and with only consideration as opposed to planning, I stepped out into a city enveloped in fog.
I was inspired and took with me my camera.
Away from the sleepy condos of downtown Toronto, I ventured to the lakeshore and, balancing what little light there was with what little direction or familiarity I had with the landscape, I began to make photographs of the beauty and truth unfolding in front of me.
I was pulled into the reality I felt, content with what I saw (even as it changed as daylight became more apparent).
The first morning I was fumbling with my equipment, learning by trial and error you might say. The second morning, two days later — augmented y the experience of the first morning — I felt a little more freedom to indulge my creativity.
Each day provided a different kind of satisfaction.
My reality, from day to day, changes. In looking back now at the images I captured, I do see the reality I was trying to uncover almost as much as what was there.
I know I will keep looking.
