With all of our deadlines and self imposed time-frames, life can be a bit overwhelming. Sometimes I need to catch myself whenever I find I’m stuck in someone else’s agenda. Anxiety can be a real disease in our culture and I believe it’s important that we each find our own way to mitigate these feelings. For me, photography is perfect. When life is moving at the speed of light all I need to do is click the shutter. I can freeze a moment in time and stay in that still for as long as I’d like. It’s something I can look back on and get lost in. When life gets rushed I can just look back at this shot and remember the sea foam playing over my feet and the warm afternoon light hugging my body. What do you do to slow things down? https://www.instagram.com/silkymerman/
