It’s so easy to blame my creative rut of 2020 on It’s so easy to blame my creative rut of 2020 on Covid but really, I realised it’s about perspective. I’ve come to rely so much on travelling for inspiration, neglecting the here and now. For 2021, I want to change that, starting with a blog post on madeofmint.net (link in bio) to recalibrate my approach to creativity and photography ✨ 

I’d love to hear your thoughts either here or on my blog 💛 How are you taking ownership of your creativity this year?

And so I thought, I’d be content exploring beaches, pondering the stars, meandering through vineyards. In that regard, I was right but I never expected encounters with people to bring the restoration that I sought. Yet, that’s precisely what Adelaide’s been like for me the past couple of weeks, and I am immensely thankful for that. ⠀

And really, floor to ceiling bookshelves are always impressive, if you ask me ✨ Also, the use of phones inside is banned, so everyone can unplug and browse in peace 😌
