Why I do it

It’s a creative addiction. Yes, I’m addicted to my camera, so much so that my partner says it’s my better half instead of her. I take my camera with me everywhere. Now, just because I have a camera with me all the time, doesn’t make me a better photographer. What it does do tho is give me a higher percentage chance of capture, then let’s say, someone who left their camera at home.

Not the most positive title for a post I know. But I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to sugar-coat everything. I’m not going to butter you up just to through you to the dogs.

What would you do if you won lotto

Would you keep doing what your doing. Think about it, hypothetically. If you no longer needed to worry about making an income, what would you spend the rest of your life doing?

80/20

I was being counter productive this evening after I opened my new package of platinum chemicals i received in the mail today. What I mean by being counter productive was that I was sitting down watching YouTube on the TV. With some like inspiration struck me thou, I stumbled upon some great advice. That advice was, You should try and write every day. Blog as much as you can, be it ideas, thoughts, beliefs, anything. Because even if no one reads your blog, at very least you have an archive of all your thoughts and ideas. An archive of liner time, of all your thoughts, ideas and your journey through life.
