the thing about photos

I couldn't ever really define what i like about photos. For one, its easier to just see with your eyes than take a picture; you remember most of it anyway. And capturing a Kodak moment is one thing, but taking a good photo is really bloody hard, especially with a manual; you're adjusting your position, and your lens, and the aperture, and the shutter speed, AND the iso, and then, leg cramp! yea, it happens that way sometimes.

The thing about a good photo is that it can transform any regular, absolutely average thing or event into something truly magnificent. Some times you can capture something so unique, you might never have known it existed if not for the fact that you pushed that little black button at just the right time. Try taking a picture of the mug you drink tea in everyday, focus on the tip of the rim, and whoa! You'd be like, is that my mug?! and then you'd be like, it totally is! and then you'd be like, sweet! :P

being bored...

A lot happened yesterday, some of which made me realise a couple of things about somethings... Primarily, i realised that its definitely NOT okay just to get bored of something. I pride myself on being very straightforward and kinda blunt, and i like to say stuff like it is. But its not supposed to be done that way all the time. You have to sugar-coat stuff most of the time, and you just can't let people know what you're feeling, because that kind of information leakage comes and bites you in the ass- repeatedly!

Its not okay to just lose interest and get bored of something. When that happens, you should always ask yourself why you're bored, and hopefully you'll come up with something that keeps you interested. Because being straightforward is one thing, and whining like a bitch is another- being an ass is another, but we'll get to that some other day. Spouting optimism isn't really my thing, but i suppose you have to have some of it to stay happy.
