sunday night is boring
Usually when I'm exceptionally bored, I end up doing something I haven't done in a long time. Sometimes it's only been a little while, like rearranging my kitchen cabinets. Sometimes it's reconnecting with a friend I haven't spoken to in years. ...Sometimes it's updating my LJ. ^^
I went through some writing that I'd done back...when I wrote. I don't really do a lot of creative stuff anymore. Mostly photography, and between that, food, sleep, and my boyfriend, I find I don't have a lot of time to access that part of my brain. Perhaps it's an excuse. I'm really lazy. I truthfully don't want to lug out the paint, paper, pencils, inks, etc. And once I did, I'm not sure I'd be able to tap into whatever it was that I used to tap into.
Working at my first professional photography job, spending all day with specific poses and white backdrops, I'm finding I have this hunger for shallow depth-of-field and unpredictable backgrounds. It's more of an art when you have to be in the world and mold it around your ideas to create the vision you started with, or something as close to that as possible. I'm no master, but I enjoy it. It's more rewarding when you can have color and excitement. Some say you're better when you can work in a studio. Perhaps that's true, but I wouldn't think a corporate studio would be what they had in mind. There's little to no flexibility there.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck with just a craving. For the time being, I have no willing victims/volunteers; usually I just want to grab a friend and run to a location, just shoot for a little while, then...well, whatever after that. But between work and school, most of my friends aren't able to do that. I do have Soner. But I think people will eventually get sick of seeing those (except Sierra, who gets a good laugh out of it, heh). :)
Ahh I forgot what I was writing about, just sat here for the last ten minutes. More later maybe? or maybe it will be another few months. :)
