Muse and Hamilton

Recently the amount of motivation has escaped me when it comes to really doing anything. I don't know if it's because the fact that my barrage of midterms are finally over (besides one), so now I really don't feel like doing anything, or the fact that I haven't been eating normally has just made me too tired to really do anything.

I still read up on updates in the photography world, but none of it is photography based, and they're just facts to me right now.

I begin to wonder whether or not photography was just a fad for me. A very long, 2, almost 3 year fad, and it's coming to an end. I really hope it isn't true but if so, I'll let it sleep peacefully.

However, until I completely lose my passion for it, this blog will continue, my photoediting skills will be practiced, and my year long payment for a pro flickr account will not be wasted.

A thing i really want to show more is Hamilton, in a better light. There's this thought about how Hamilton is boring, there are no events and it's lifeless. The only speck of soul that is visible is the student community. And while I agree with everything, why is boring bad?

Why can't students wind down from their partying, drinking, and academic cramming and sit and notice life? If you take the chance to slow down and take a look around you, you can finally start noticing the glimpse of beauty in everything living and dead around you.

Hopefully you stop thinking about the next drink, the next midterm, the next life step you'll take and enjoy for what everything is in the moment. For that moment in time, what you have taken for granted can all come rushing back and showing you their importance in your life.

While others enjoy one aspect of life, I enjoy the fact the fact I can see at least 2 sides. I never want to take things for granted, neither do I want to be so short-sighted.
