I was made to promise today that I could not give up on photography. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I was trying to justify why I've strayed so far away from it. I told myself that the competitive nature of pursuing a career in photography steals the soul straight from the lens of the photographer, that I just don't have time, fiances, or the resources. But to be truthful, I do. I have a camera and a finger for pushing down the shutter button. I've had so much on my mind lately about wishing to really pursue a life of activism, sustainability and small agriculture. I'm sure photography fits into that.
I used to love writing, then it became photography, then the outdoors, then sustainability. I should figure a way to incorporate all of these into my future. I really should. I can't go back on a promise.
