Getting there

I've been spending a lot of time since my recent reentry into the blogosphere thinking about what I want to do with my life, As is evident from my last post. As of yet, no clear conclusions have been reached. For that matter, I doubt I'll ever come to a conclusion. At any rate, there are great things going on in my life but I want to get back some of the things I always enjoyed. These two main aspects are photography and making things.

Photography, not being as far removed as the later of my previous sources of enjoyment, has only been out of my life for about a month now, but I really do miss it. I miss dreaming about what/who I want to bee able to shoot and where. I always end up getting stuck at that dreaming part, tho. I never really go after it. I'm not sure why I always get stuck there. Perhaps it's lack of confidence. I always blame it on lack of resources. Whatever it is, I need to figure out a way to get over it and find people to shoot just for fun.

Now we come to the joy I always get out of making something or constructing something. I don't really know what it is but I've always enjoyed building things, whether it was playing with legos, building tree forts, building our deck, or finishing our basement. Ever since I was a little boy, I've always been building things. That is up until the last year or two. Now one could argue that I'm building things on a metaphorical level like building my education or some silly philosophical idea like that. What I mean, tho, is physically constructing something with my own two hands that I can then step back and be proud of. So, All that being said, I think I'm going to make a chair. It won't be done this week, or this month, but I think I'm going to go for it.
