Reading for kicks
Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I really don't have an excuse... I've been busy with stuff, but nothing of such great urgency that it would cause me to not write something -- anything.
I've been reading and studying more about photography as of late. It is interesting the number of different approaches you can take to learn to do something. Some just do it and learn 'on-the-job', which is good for experimenting. Some have to learn from being with or watching someone else do it, until they get comfortable doing it themselves. I do both of these approaches, but also do the learn-by-reading method. It's always been something that I believe in; if you can read it and read it to understand it, you can do it.
I think that is a problem with a lot of people... they want things done for them. No one seems to want to actually 'do' (let alone learn!). It ties into our 'now' society that we've created with fast-food, drive-thru's, instant coffee and instant downloads. There are some people that haven't read a book since high school. Not bad if you're a freshman or sophomore in college; really bad if you're turning 50 this year. Reading for fun/enjoyment or to gain knowledge doesn't seem to happen anymore. So my challenge to the 2 people that may read this is to go and read a book between now and the end of the year.
Currently reading: "Sell and Resell your Photos" and "The Kite Runner".

Great weekend.
Our friend C. visited today. She's been a great friend since high school. We all have lasted through college and through post-college higher education living hundreds of miles away from each other. After a fun weekend (like the one we had this weekend), you come away from it feeling very blessed that you have such people in your life. It's intriguing when you think back to the number of people that you've introduced yourself to and been introduced to by others and why some people stick with you.
I'm very happy that I have a lot of friends that if I needed to call them for something, they woudl be available for me. I hope you do, too!
