Let It Out

It’s hard sometimes

To shed the facade

And open up

So we hide behind a veil

To face that world out there

And lock up the world we hold inside

But you know we can let it out

These doubts and struggles

We fight with every breath

And embrace who we are

For all to see

So let it flow

For this photo I moved up onto one of the higher shelves to try and showcase the multi-level cascade, which is where I saw these two rocks with some fallen leaves and thought it'd make for an interesting foreground with the flow of the water rushing around them.

There's something about capturing waterfalls that is so cathartic (though taking photos of pretty much anything is cathartic to me). It helps me relax and concentrate on capturing an image I'm proud of, even if the photo isn't the best one ever taken and unlikely to win any awards. Instead, it helps me grow as a photographer, and I love being able to actually see the improvement in my skills.

Because what is life if you don't continue to grow?
