Yesterday, as little droplets of rain started to come down… and as my oldest was practicing piano by the window – I looked longingly at the lake views outside of our Sag Harbor house and thought to myself “why not have a photo shoot?”
Truly – why not. These are trying and stressful times. Everyone’s lives have been turned completely upside down by the Corona Virus – GLOBALLY. It truly feels like there isn’t a single place in the world that hasn’t gone into lock-down or have not been impacted by Covid-19. For a moment, I just wanted to feel like my old self again, to experience pieces of me returning back to my own body as I walked about by the water (with my six year old photographer whom I’ve enlisted for the occasion)… and to feel **CREATIVE** once again.
Perhaps it was selfish, and perhaps it was frivolous given the pandemic, but in these times of need, when everyone is in sheer survival mode and every news-flash is flooded with updates regarding new cases of death, Corona illnesses, the collapse of the healthcare system, the inundation of hospitals, and a universally ravaged economy – sometimes it’s just nice to be reminded of your own humanity – of doing something nice and simple for yourself JUST BECAUSE.
A luxury indeed.
