 I never really share my photography around the great world wide web -- or at all for that matter. It's never been a conscious decision on my part, it just seems that I've never felt it to be interesting/good enough to share, which of course made me realise that, despite the fact I upload artwork and the like to places like dA, I don't really share much of anything. Of all the things I have given a half-hearted attempt at showing people however, my photography probably would have been the easiest. I spent four years studying it at high school: I know how to talk about it in great detail. In the end I think it's simply been a matter of I just don't care about it enough to even want to talk about it anymore. Lately however, the urge to start documenting my life again has cropped up.

I spent a large quantity of my early adolescence photographing nearly everything. Perhaps it was because I had yet to discover that pencils and tablets existed, but, regardless of why, I would have taken hundreds of photos nearly every month. Of course, the majority were rubbish, but they represented parts of my life and thoughts and feelings that I will never be able to latch back onto.

I’m probably getting nostalgic, but I have a love for disconnected memories, and a lot of old photographs have a great way of providing that. For the past few years however, I have a lacking amount of photography, and have to make do with old notes to reconnect with the past. My notes are only good for certain aspects of my life however, so here I am again making another useless goal to do more of something: I bought a good SLR, so I should use the darned thing anyway.

Also, mostly, I just need an excuse to actually take my photos off the SD card, since it is starting to complain about being full.
