My model has checked out; the photo shoot is done. I'd like to know what Nico thinks of getting his photo taken daily. He’s good at doing most of what I ask of him, but sometimes he isn’t into it. That’s ok because some days I’m not into it either. That’s the thing about a project like this; there are highs and lows. There are days when I feel very creative and jazzed about working with Nico to create an image and when I don’t have it in me. Personal creative growth happens as much on those challenging days as on the exciting ones. It’s the commitment to the process and to keep going that can help one grow as a creative.
