So i got kinda drunk with stepin tonight.
What i learned from him...
it is not important to look happy in photographs, but to look young.
That is only what i learned directly from him.
That however gives me insight to what he is feeling right now, not necisarily wht is true.
(hold on if this makes no sense it is becuase i am drunk.)
one thing that i wish that i would have said to him was when he saw a street lamp go off in front us as we were in deep conversation about what is the most important thing in a photo. HE says very out of the blue and not to importantly, "hum... that street light just went out." and a few minutes later when the street light comes back on, "hum... the street light just came back on."
(what i should have said, "yeah it must have something to do with the gaussian surfaces and the MAGNETIC FIELDS they create."
him, "Huh!?!?"
me, "yeah, well you know the induction of a electricity creates a MAGNETIC FIELD"
This did not happen though. i was completely star struck!
everything i felt like i could have possible said felt like it was everything i could possibly say to make me look like an idiot in front of him. To me eveything he says is soooo amazing.
Then i thought what if everything that he says is not so amazing but actually very simple and straigjht forward. But the actual amazing thing is what i made them to be. Very ego centric i know!
but there is always a BUT, and WHAT IF!
I give myself too much credit. He is amazing.
(and here is that but)BUT if he truly that amazing he might realize that i am not soo much of an idiot as i probaly made myself out to be, but i just simply am intelligent ENOUGH to realize his genious and feel...
...less that it.
