If you don’t know where this quote is from then I STRONGLY urge you to stop reading now, and go rent and watch ‘Stranger than Fiction.’ I absolutely love this movie. It made me think; I love movies and books that do that. But this is all another blog post for another time, another day. The point, go watch this movie. In fact, I own it; come over and I will make you popcorn and we can watch this movie together.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut? I used to dream of being an astronomer or at least working with astronauts from this side of the atmosphere. I wanted to be one of those guys who made it possible for the astronauts to be out there, one of those guys sitting in that room with the big screens and rows of computers, cheering when they land on the moon or when they just make it back safe, pulling out my hair when something is going wrong, standing up and shouting ‘I got it!’ then running up to the person in charge with a messy stack of papers that holds the answer to the problem we had all been trying desperately to solve so that we could save our astronauts from imminent doom. read on! »

So I love photography. I am not the best, I am about average, though at my height, I may have been slightly above average. I carried box cameras to every event I went to as a kid. I was given a Canon AE-1 (approximately 30 years old*), along with a 50mm, a wide angle, and two telephoto lenses when I was in middle school. I started shooting with that a lot. I took several photography classes in high school and learned to love black and white film and working in a darkroom. I liked having control over every print and being able to call each one my own art from from composure and shot all the way to the finished print.

Some people know what they want to do and have always known what they wanted to do. Some people grow up into a certain profession or position and life and nothing could have made any difference. This is where they were meant to be. This is just who they are. There are some people who have goals and strive passionately towards them. To go all in for a single path. They beat themselves up trying to reach it and it nearly kills them if they don’t make it. For some, there is the logical, sensible, ‘correct’ choice to be made versus what they have dreamed of doing. And some have no dreams.
