So glad it’s been helpful to you too, Marcy, and I’m so sorry for your loss. Definitely invest in a DSLR and maybe a few lessons or a short course to make the most of it, it’s such a fun skill to learn x

Great post Sara. Photography has been a vital source of therapy for me too since my mum died last year. Can’t wait to get a DSLR next year and improve my skills x

Very much agree with this. Photography has got me through some of the darkest times of my life. One of the main benefits I found with photography was that whilst you’re doing it, you HAVE to live in that particular moment – the process of taking an image makes you focus your mind entirely on that scene. You don’t have mind space to worry about your issues. It’s kind of a mechanical version of Buddhist ‘mindfulness’.
