I realized something the other day. I'm not made for going to school. Not that I don't like to learn or think it's hard to learn, but it's just not...satisfying. Learning is about taking in information, absorbing facts and experiences like a sponge. Like SpongeBob (sorry, I just had to...). But I'm more about letting out, which is what you do in arts. There's no wrong answer there, really. You do your thing, let your inspiration and creativity put together things that are highly personal. Is there anything more impersonal than a textbook? Didn't think so... So even though I might be a good learner, learning is not what I want to do. I know

I'm finally getting somewhere. Not to exaggerate or anything but things ARE happening. Photos fill my harddrive and waves of inspiration do flow every now and then. I've moved from drawing (too time-consuming and frustrating) to photography. I've come to realize what the possibilities of Photoshop are. They're infinite! Anything is possible! So my new passion is behind my Canon, definitely not in front. I have people who volunteer to do that. Who knows, maybe I'm the female version of Richard Avedon? (everyone who's the least interested in photography has to look at his photos, just FYI)

Finally I've managed to upload some new photos. It feels like I've abandoned drawing for a while. I can express so much more so much faster with my camera. My exhibit early next spring is getting closer. I'm nervous already but it's gonna be so much fun. I have so many ideas and things to say with my art. Other than that life is what it's always been. Going at my own pace, doing what I feel like. At the moment I'm missing a certain someone though ;) 'Nuff said about at least for now. But I had to get it off my chest. Not many people know and I want to keep it that way..
