Out of curiosity I decided to take a look at my blog, needless to say I had forgotten how to log in, but thanks to Google, I managed to! I didn't realize my last blog update was way back in 2007! Reading through I also realized that all the writing on it seemed like it was done by someone else altogether!
Maybe its time to look back and get a little check going on, who I was and who I am now! With youth came the fire and carelessness, I was brash and irreverent. And now, I'm older, somehow I feel a lot older as well! Boisterity and irreverence have given way to calm collect, my mind is a little dull, vision is just as bad as it always was but somehow I crave to see more. I finally made the move to digital photography earlier this year, yet somehow I always pine for that strip of film. I've become a fat fuck, I'm scared my complacence will get the better of me. I'm broke, but I have a job! No surprises there! I survived three excruciatingly long years in tea, a job I did not like from the very first day, and though I have little or no respect for the profession, I have to admit I learnt a lot of things about myself, and gained a whole new perspective on where I stand and how I do so.
I regained my love for trees, and snakes! I realized how much I valued my own company and the company of friends that mattered to me, with whom I could talk at length about anything I wanted or not say anything. I've found the joy of teaching myself things I never though I could, and the joy of rekindling my curiosity. I lost room for my humour and I found it again-oh joy!
And boy do I take photographs!
So in an effort to keep this blog up and running, I'll make a conscious (or otherwise!) effort to find that fool who wrote all the shit before! And I'll try and remember the stories behind the photographs I have taken over the days while I'm at it!
