Day 6 Dark Room

If you guys haven't noticed a theme to my blogs are all photographer terms. I keep thinking maybe I should have gone with tennis or something a little less technical, but I like it.

A dark room is a room of solitude. Superman has his fortress, batman his cave, spider-man has his cathedral towers, I have my dark room. It's the room I can go to where I can focus on making quality work. I produce some amazing works in there. It's where I can develop my works, thoughts, and self. It's peaceful, quiet, and at times beautiful. I've spent countless hours staring at pieces of myself left on negatives, to enlarge to spread around.

Now if I was a photograph, I really believe I haven't gotten enough exposure to produce. I don't have enough light shining through for people to notice me. I'm too dark and hard to see. A lot of folk claim they know me, but do you? Or do you claim to know one of my many faces. (Hint: next blog called lens change.) There are parts of me that are predictable, but it's only because I can't be myself around you. I am a dark photograph. So I think I need more exposure. It's time to let someone into my dark room and be completely real with them. I'm not going to force this process, it's open to those who want to see it, but it is time. So now my fortress of solitude is open to the public. Hope and pray this is the right thing to do.

I've prayed about it and it's open to those who I trust. Those I trust are so far and few between. But the world inside this sacred tavern are overwhelming. Prepare yourself, time to let the light in.
