I think one of the things lacking from my writing here as of late is the passion that I have for photography, blogging and this whole new world. It’s been many, many years since I started my blog and although previous versions of it are no longer online they still remain with me and have shaped who I am. But I think as the site grew, part of me has been lurking away and hiding itself.
I know I have had readers come and go from my various sites, as my focus changed from one subject to another but I think the one thing that hasn’t changed is the drive of the person behind this site. And although it may not be very apparent it’s still there. Two things opened my eyes today. First was the photo post [pictured above] from my friend Mondo’s Flickr Stream and second was this post by Anil Dash about his iminent move back to New York City. Both set off a chain of thoughts in my head of things I should do different and not take for granted.
Over the Christmas holidays, I gave much thought to what was missing from my life, being in a bit of a rut lately I figured I had lost that “Awe Factor”. That wonder that you feel when you are presented with new ideas. Almost Scrooge or Grinch-like. But where did this jadedness originate? Now I see, it’s more the fact that I have been ignoring my feelings and hiding them away all this time. Afraid to be wrong, afraid to be judged and afraid to just be myself.
Anyway, the long and the short of it is that you will see a change here. Maybe not apparent to the naked eye, but it will be there. I’m gonna try.
