I wanted to take a quiet moment during this season to write to you personally and wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a gentle, hopeful New Year.
This past year for me has been one of settling in. A new seat at the window, a new home, and a new focus. For the most part, I have put the camera to rest. As many of you know, photography has been a constant companion through so many years of my life, especially as a wildlife photographer, and it will always be part of who I am. But this season feels different. It feels like time to gather what I have carried with me all these years and finally set it down in words.
For many years, I saved notes. Jotted ideas. Wrote fragments of thoughts about places, moments, people, and experiences I encountered along the way. Little pieces of life that stayed with me. Now, I am giving myself permission to slow down and write about them, along with the many other layers of interests that have shaped my life. Mainly, my imagination.
I have been working quietly on short stories and books, including a project I have long thought about called Fennlight, The Girl Who Photographed the Stars. These are small booklets and eBooks, reflective in nature, and very close to my heart. I also created a website for this project, which is still a work in progress, but it marks an important step forward for me.
I also redesigned my personal website to better reflect this stage of life. Where it once leaned more heavily into photography, it now centers on writing, storytelling, and the quieter work I am doing now.
You will find my current published books on my website and a new one in the process. (Many of you will probably enjoy this one - Sidebar Profits, a technology book)
There is no expectation at all, only an open door for anyone who would like to explore what I have been doing and creating.
More than anything, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being here, for reading, for being friends, clients and trusting me with your own projects and for sharing in this ongoing journey with me. Your presence means more than you know.
I wish you a Christmas filled with peace, rest, and meaningful moments, and a New Year that opens gently, with room for whatever is waiting to unfold.
Warmly,
Deborah Kunzie
