so this weekend was probably the last weekend in a while of just partying it up like no other. i have to start getting serious about shit again. tomorow starts off the first full week of the semester and im anxious to start getting some awesome photos shot and printed. i think that if i work hard enough this semester ill be able to figure out what it is that i want to do. last semester i spent too much time photographing only what i already knew and loved photographing, but when i started photographing outside my comfort zone (ie: my home in lawrence and my closest friends) i started surprising myself. i got more confidence at the end of the semester when i went out and shot things i hadnt ever shot before. so im amping myself up to start working hard.
that said, im trying to get myself together. starting to think about the future. im going to write down goals i have for myself. and inspirations. i want to start working on my art more. for example i promised a friend a long time ago id help design a tattoo for him and ive blown it off for too long. i really want to start doing more things im proud of. i havent done any drawing in so long. last year i was getting real into finding my own style, but then kinda stopped before anything good enough was produced. i dont know, i just need to focus. and actually sit down and draw. and photograph. i need to start carrying my camera with me like its my baby like i used to. so yeah, i want this all to really happen, and the only person that can do that is me. and i have faith in myself that i can do these things. so just starting is what i need to work on.
