Wild Swimming / Kodak Tmax 3200

We have children and our own business and I’m guessing some reading this will be in a similar position. Life is busy and full, challenging, and oh so opinionated. What do you do when you are overwhelmed with life and all it’s daily tasks that sometimes don’t feel like ours. I’ve recently started a project called finding the calm and it’s about exactly that. What do you do to find the calm? How do you ground yourself again? I’m really interested in our world and the connection we have with nature. We as humans are so destructive to the planet that we live on but when we need healing we always come back to nature. Our connection with the plants and the trees around us is more important now than it ever has been. The two beautiful souls in the images are Java and Laurie, friends and wild swimmers. They both do it to feel alive, to reset and I’m guessing to centre themselves. To be there with them and listen to their breath as they first got in was almost as healing as the actual swim.

Take a deep breath, connect with nature and find your calm.

We photographed this images on our Nikon Fm2 with the 50mm pancake lens & Kodak Tmax 3200 (at 1000), it was scanned and processed at Southsun Film Lab in Wales.
