put it back on the shelf and let the dust settle in.

i am fully aware that if i don't do this tonight,
the effect on my future could be catastrophic (with serious side affects of laziness, chronic couch potato, etc)..
i spent the day today, in the (beautiful) studio of a real live photographer.
see, today i had the chance to absorb not only new information about my chosen career path,
but i had the chance to absorb people.
raw, unfiltered emotions unlike i've ever seen or dreamed.
when i say real- i mean the build up, the long climb from uncertainty to confidence.
i managed to take in one on one communication and while i exsisted in the room as a solid being, i chose more so to blend in with the wallpaper unless asked otherwise.
it was eye-opening. exhilarating.
capable of erasing all doubt from my mind that there is ANYTHING
i would want to do more with my life.
think of it- people look at it as "taking a picture"
but you are doing so much more. if you have a gift-
you are blessed enough to have the capability to capture someone
a person,
a heart and soul, a living, breathing being
in still-frame
so that years from now people can look at the image and say
"i feel like i know this person"
you are allowing people to exist forever.
and that in itself- is more than what we could ever ask for.
amazing.
- thank you. you know who you are. i am forever grateful that you even acknowledge my efforts to find a place in this artistic world people like you have created. emotionally, i've taken more from today than imaginable. thank you.
