First, let’s start out with a fun picture to grab your attention. I present to you…
BEARFORCE!
A “man band” (not boy band) bringing the bear heat and thumping beats to a dance floor near you. No, I’m not kidding. See more here.
There are some days when all I feel like I’m doing is just surviving. I’m pretty much miserable, whiny and apathetic and doing what I can to make it through the day.
And then there are days like today. Even sitting by my dad, sleeping in his lounge chair in the hospital room, I’ve experienced moments of hope. Brief glimpses into what the future might be and what I can do for myself, and it makes me feel surprisingly…happy. Strange? Yes. (Ironically enough, my dad must have some funny stuff in his dreams. He’s been smiling and laughing the past minute or so.)
But something’s gotta happen, and something WILL happen. I just don’t know how/when/where.
So as you’ve probably figured out by now that I like to take pictures. But I also like having goals. If I don’t set goals, I usually end up spinning my wheels and/or not getting anything at all accomplished and/or quit because I’m so impatient. Anywho, I’ve decided I need photo projects. But I need to go out and find something….NEW. I don’t do well with trying to make people pose. I also don’t do well with just going out and taking pictures of random things. I want to make something out of nothing, but I have to have a something in mind first. Make sense? I didn’t think so.
My left and right brain tendencies are fairly balanced, which also makes for a fairly confused, indecisive and frustrating existence. Practicality doesn’t harmonize with impulsiveness, disorganization doesn’t mesh with attention to detail and being overly analytical and uptight doesn’t make sense when I want to be creative and laidback. Whenever I try to get the creative juices flowing, so to speak, I end up feeling like I’m just coming across as… weird.
So I’ll try to make all of this into an experiment. I’ll post whatever bits of ideas pop into my head (because I honestly never have FULL ideas), and maybe someday I’ll be able to generate a complete concept. And go from there…
