You worked so hard to reach this milestone that seemed unattainable due to the many painful, debilitating, intense, devastating and overwhelming circumstances you constantly experience each moment. Maybe it’s important to acknowledge reaching this milestone and celebrate the fact that time after time you overcame battles that seemed too overpowering. This photo project has been a blessing to you and may it somehow be a gift of encouragement, hope, peace or some other benefit for others.

I decided to share one of my more recent cloud photos in celebration of reaching a milestone with my Clouds photo project that I was unsure I would ever reach. I’ve spent years taking cloud photos and many many months putting this project together for print. On Wednesday evening I managed to get to the point in this project where I was able to order a test print of some of the Clouds images in zine format before eventually progressing with the full zine print. In addition to my intense struggles I battle each moment of each day I also had to overcome the hurdles of fear, trying something new, something unknown, teaching myself to use desktop publishing software and the confusion and complications I was having saving this project as a PDF. It felt like a huge accomplishment and a true victory to see my test print zine on the webpage of the printing company and to click the mouse to place the order. I considered this an accomplishment and victory for myself and hopefully for others as well with the hope it may be of benefit to others in some way. While I am doing this for myself I also have you in mind while working on this project.
