thoughts for a Tuesday.

I have a lot to learn.....a lot. I am almost 26 and am no where near the person that I am striving to be in many areas. Sure, I have accomplished a lot, I have done SOME traveling, I have an amazing job and have some talent. I need to use these more...WAY MORE. I find that I am very hard on myself...I have too many things that I want to do that often times I get overwhelmed before I even get started. As I was driving home tonight from work I decided that it is time to buy a new lens. It is time to start taking photos again and posting it on my blog. I love photography and I have let it die in my life because of busy schedules, moving...countless excuses. I don't want it to get lost in the mix. I also love playing music...how often do I get to do it, not very often. That is sad that there is not enough time to do the things that I am passionate about. I need to take a few things at a time, focus on them, and make time...having something to show for it. So starting tomorrow I am going to post a blog a day with a photograph that I have taken or with a photograph that inspires me. In 2006, I quit my job...took a couple semesters off of school and I traveled a lot, taking my camera with me everywhere. I miss that. I don't have that now but I need to make due with what I have currently and produce results as best as I can for the time being. If my passion dies, my heart becomes stale...and there's an aching in my heart right now to DO SOMETHING. Passion and career need to go hand in hand for me...I love trying things that are new, things that make me smile and feel alive...and making money doing so. So, there you go. Enjoy.
