So I am fairly sure that the drawing thing happened because I had put my camera down for so long. Suffice it to say I feel that I have rediscovered my love for photography. I have also rediscovered the way I used to draw in 5th grade. I think I shall leave that where it lies. Lays?

That is not to say that a sketch or two won't pop up, but I don't think they will be about trying to make up for lost time, but they will, rather, embrace my current abilities. Which are crap. And that would be half of the title of this entry.

As for the photos... hell yeah! I think taking such a long break from snapping things like crazy has actually opened my eyes to the possibilities of pictures in everyday life. Of course you'll have beautiful photos if you freakin' live in Hawaii or Florida or Colorado. Of course you'll take beautiful pictures if you've got a studio. Of course you'll have beautiful wedding shots if the price tag on the wedding has more than four zeros in it. But finding the good stuff wherever you are: that's the trick. The idea is exciting and invigorating.

Although, anyone willing to buy me a ton of new equipment and a round trip ticket to Hawaii should still feel free to send that message my way.
