One painful step

Due to increasing my recent activity I developed Plantar fasciitis, this is inflammation and micro tears of the ligaments across the bottom of both of my feet, this makes it painful to walk. Despite taking painkillers and anti inflammatory tablets it still is painful to walk, which makes it difficult for me to get out, though so far it hasn't stopped me so far. Today it did. I had planned to walk down to the beach and take some photos, unfortunately I only got part of the way before the pain got too much and I had to come home.

I could see this as a set back, but I am trying hard to convince myself that at least I made the effort, as it wouldn't have been so long ago that I wouldn't have even started out.

I will have to rest my feet for a few days so that is going to challenge me when it comes to taking a photo daily, it should be interesting to see what I come up with.

I have been spending sometime thinking about the majority of photos that I choose to take and I have realised that they are influenced by my view of the world, which in turn is influenced by my experiences. The interest in flowers is due to 2 years in horticulture college.


 Seeing things low down and from low angles is  due to my habit of walking around with my head down, the reason for this is the fact that I feel that I am hiding, just like a child who thinks if they can't see you you can't see them. I know its not logical but that is how my mind works, the depression and anxiety reroutes the logic circuit of my brain.
