i LOVE my Cage

Like a lot of people I've been struggling mentally this lockdown. It's difficult to describe to people why that is when they ask. As a creative I've never ever had difficulty in finding the motivation to create. I'm pretty happy as a person & always optimistic. I don't EVER express any issues with my mental health. But now my job has been taken away from me with no real signs of when it's going to change it has been a real struggle.

After having Casey & staying indoors I've felt a little stripped of all my identity. My job is such a huge part of my existence, it is a way of life as much as it is a means of putting food on the table. I thrive on the interaction with strangers, on the great outdoors, on exploration & experimentation.

One morning a couple of days back I woke up, grabbed my camera & decided to document my beautiful family & everything it is to be us in this lockdown. Creating these moments has been an incredibly cathartic experience. It has reminded me with a slap round the face that. "Ryan you're allowed to be down. You're allowed to say that you are not ok. But you are still the same person. You are ust as creative with a wonderful family who adores you."

Yes, sometimes I feel like a caged animal with a camera. But I tell ya what. I truly fucking love my cage.

Happy Two Months Casey Robin Learoyd. XOXOX
