Project Inspiration: Part 7

At part 7 already and I've only done one shoot.... what's that all about?

Okay, last week I heard back from Creattive Scotland and got a knockback on my funding application. I also got a knockback on getting any feedback which was what I was really hoping for if I didn't get the funding, so now I'm in the position of not knowing what was wrong with my application and no way of finding out either. Pretty frustrating to be honest and it knocked the stuffing out of me for a few days. However.... life goes on.

I was sitting thinking about the nature of the project, and what I'm trying to achieve by it, and to be honest, getting the rejection email is no different from what many of the subjects I'm hoping to include will have dealt with. They've had to struggle to overcome difficulties to get where they are, they've had to work with very limited funds, they've had to deal with rejection, crushed optimism and bamboozlement too (if such a word actually exists)

So that's what I'm going to do. I've been working out that it could take me two to three years to deliver this project to my own satisfaction, but realistically it's something I could work on my whole life because there will always be people who are an inspiration to others. This project is all about highlighting them and showing that to those who are in need of a touch of that inspiration themselves. A little like me over the last week.

Full steam ahead then, on a road of my own choosing, at my own pace. Let's hope that I keep being inspired as I go and can produce something inspirational from it.
