why the hell do i want to do photography? everyone and their mother does photography. everyone is good at it. everyone is witty and charming and unique and wonderful. everyone and everything is the same and it gets so tiring. i can't look at any more photographs, it's making me ill

i can't really decide how i view art , sometimes i feel that it shouldn't be looked into it too deeply and just be taken as it is, but other times i feel like the artist was trying to say something and can't help looking further into it. i like photography because i like being able to capture moments that otherwise would be fleeting, and i like forcing people look at things in a very specific way. i don't really consider what i do 'art' though, i think of it as more of a hobby.

at the moment i'm thinking i'll just keep taking classes, photography and others, and see if this is really what i want or if something else tickles my fancy. i really agree with the last thing you said, well put.

i have a confession to make: you use the word banal a lot, and i just finally looked it up. it's a good word.

off topic: sorry i never called you back last night, or whenever it was you called, i just opened my phone today and saw the message. do you guys want to go to the party? maybe i'll call you on the telephone and stop using livejournal as my only form of communication. you're at work now though.
