things that need to come into my life

i've been making lists for some time, thanks to the organized part of my brain, of all the creative things that i crave and have finally come to realize that i need to satisfy the artistic part of my brain.  i longingly gaze at photos and descriptions and reviews of things that will help me bring my creative side out.  thanks to a very special lady, i realized that i need to make my dreams happen.

for some time i've called myself a photographer (tiff, don't laugh), ever since those high school classes that made me realize my genius potential.  what have i been doing to pursue this lofty lifestyle of artist, you ask?  zilch.  i don't think i'm the next man ray or ansel adams, but i don't totally suck, either.  i've stopped honing my skills because i didn't have a darkroom.  i didn't have a 'good enough' camera.

i think this is the only solution.  it's time to grab onto my dreams, because it's not too late.  it's never too late.  in fact, i might just be getting started.

just think how much yummier this fresh raspberry-sour cream coffee cake would have looked with the right equipment...!
