The Real World
Sep 23rd, 2009 by admin
As the great Ferris Bueller put it: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Sometimes you definitely should stop and look around. Other times, you have no choice. Unfortunately, right now I have no choice. Photography is a hobby, something that challenges me and allows me a creative outlet. I have met hundreds of people due to this hobby and I am forever thankful for it. I’ve taken pictures of babies, of wives, girlfriends, couples, dogs, landscapes, buildings, events, products. You name it, I have shot it. How cool is that? In the 5 years I have been trying to shoot as a hobby, I have managed to shoot all manner of subjects and sometimes I even get paid for it! It’s usually not much, definitely not enough to cover expenses, but hey, five bucks is five bucks.
So because photography is a hobby, sometimes other things entire our lives that make us stop. This is certainly not a happy time in my life right now but that’s the best time to stop and look around. It helps you appreciate what you have. So while I have not had the chance to raise my camera to my eye and capture an image as often as I would like, I appreciate having such a fun, creative, challenging hobby. I’m sure once I can get back to it, I will appreciate it even more.
