One of the now clean and ready to use shooting area and a couple self portraits.

A couple from my shoot with Alison on Monday.

We put up walls to protect ourselves.
We hide in our shells, trying to avoid being hurt.
We hesitate out of fear, instead of following our heart.

When

We should break down those walls
We should be willing to be out in the open, risk being hurt.
We should face our fears and listen to our hearts

What we create to protect us

Can be what takes life from you

Yes that happened naturally, the bird got caught on one of the strings made to construct the nest and it eventually died. It just hit me with my current situation, having someone hide in their own shell, their own safe place, to afraid to step outside and follow their heart.
