10:04 amFor The LOVE of Photography…
…just get out there and shoot!
Something that I struggle with everyday, coming up with a reason to use my camera. Some days I am perfectly okay with sitting around and just watching TV or movies. But, looking back on the wasted time, I realize that I should have been out and about doing something with my camera, or creating something. I often times fall into the trap of consumerism. It’s so tempting to soak in. There are bigger oceans to swim in than my little pond at home.
Not that hanging out with friends is a bad thing. By all means, I absolutely love spending time with my friends, and I am trying to learn to balance my life between my full time job, photography, and my friends. It’s an interesting balance. But, when I am alone, I feel that I shouldn’t just sit around waiting and soaking it all in. I should be the sponge squeezing out into the lives around me and expressing my feelings and joys for this world and my life. I have so much to share, and so much to give!
So. I encourage you (and myself) to step out side of our little ponds, and find bigger oceans where we can swim, and be free!
