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...!
Robin!! You are amazing! I would love to see some of the things you shoot~ I do not laugh at all, I am no better a photographer than you!! I need to take my creative shooting back and do for myself so I do not lose that, it is too easy to do. I am so proud of you! I know that life has not been easy for you over the past year either but I know that you are strong and amazing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get that camera if that is what is calling your heart!! You are so right, it is never too late! We are young and as we both know too well, life is simply too short. You are such an incredible person and I admire you and your strength! Maybe we should talk more! Call me this week if you want to ok! I miss you and think the world of you! :) Thank you for telling me about Motherless Daughters and how much it helped you, I will pick it up again soon!! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, it means more than you know!
Sending you lots of love!
