I've been thinking about this a lot lately: How can I inject my days with more wonder and gratitude? I remain convinced that photography is good for us, and this is one way we can achieve that. Thanks for sharing these experiences with us, Hannah! Have you seen Sophie Howarth's new book about Wonder? I think you would like it.

This really resonates with me, so thank you for sharing. Just a little bit of feedback from an editor when you’ve busted your guts makes me SO much more likely to want to put in maximum effort when working with them in the future because you know it is appreciated and they share your excitement and enthusiasm for the craft. It gives me the confidence to push the boat out. There’s also a lot to be said from finding the wonder from kids too; mine have become a subject and source to me. If all else (career-wise) fails my children will be my life long project - I never get bored of trying to document their lives in a meaningful way. In a world of such transitory experiences and use of images, it’s wonderful to be working towards something that feels like it will have some permanence as a record; I existed, and they were here - here’s the evidence.
