I'm not the best at sticking to things. I've never been good at New Year's Resolutions. And if I ever find myself overweight...I will probably never stick to a diet.
I have the BEST intentions. However, those Intentions are usually beaten to a bloody pulp by Laziness. Despite it's name, Laziness is actually quite active in my life. For example, instead of writing this blog I could be uploading pictures and writing cute quirky captions and actually be doing what this little blog was set up to do...but I choose to not look for my camera cord. Even if I could find it, I do not have many pictures to post. I have not taken a picture every day, not even every other day. My life is boring. I can't capture Brand's silly voices or my awesome jokes. I can't capture the feeling he gives me when he looks at me. I can't capture how light my heart feels as I come home to my sweet dog and my hilarious cat. I'm not an artist and although some people may be able to capture feelings in pictures, I just can't seem to do it. It's hard to take a picture of something that can't be seen. I really credit photographers (shout out to Rheanne!).
I think a lot of people think they can be photographers (evidenced by many "My Photography" albums on facebook that look well...not so great.) but not everyone can really capture these feelings. So a big shout out to you Rheanne and your sister and all the wonderful photographers out there..I'm so impressed by your creativity, insight, and of course your eye. Even though I never try to make the pictures look artistic, I'm impressed that photographers can find such beauty in everything when all I can see are these white walls....
We're creepy and we're kooky, mysterious and spooky We're all together ooky, the Adams Family...
Awww. Does this mean the end of your bloggy blog? I really do enjoy reading it and looking at the pics. I can understand how it would get to be a daunting project though. I loved all your photos and feeling a bit closer to you and hearing about your days :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments as well. I know what you mean about everyone thinking they are a photographer. I think it's great when people get excited about it but there are a few people who think that just because they have a digital camera and can take photos that aren't blurry, they are a professional and can charge people for photos. It undermines the people who actually want to make a career out of it. I just get mad when people don't respect photography and the fact that it's a lot of hard work! That's why I don't call myself a professional quite yet and don't know if I will. I don't consider you to be a part of that category though.
You've shown some real creativity in the subjects of your photos...stuff that I would never think of. You're a hilarious writer as well. You have quite the creative spirit Allison Tzeitel :) I love my sissy in law :)
i too have enjoyed your random pics! i've liked that the fotos you have posted are just that, a very random shot throughout your day that tells a story. it's very interesting. but i think it would be a challenge to do this every day...maybe a good challenge though. and i agree that there are far too many peeps out there that think they are photographers. i love taking pics, but there are some talented peeps out there like rheanne who have a natural talent that i don't wanna compete with!
