the art

We're finally into our first class that deals with the Art of it all. Which, even if I didn't know it, I'd been craving. It's all been very technical up to now, which is 100% necessary, and likely better than the inverse. But nonetheless, I think my background and my nature combine to mean that the technical bits have been, not only hard, but fairly uninspiring for me.

Finally, some passion has arrived on the scene. The instructor is a theatrical sort, which I don't find as amusing as everyone else, I fear (I know his type). But he is also very grounded, straight-talking and unbelievably impassioned.

I am also facing a sizable amount of self doubt as we move into this portion of the program. I know it's natural, especially for me, and I am feeling empowered to use the doubt and overcome it, but I struggle at not excelling in an "academic" environment.

They say once you start taking a lot of shots you very quickly dislike your old stuff. And I can already feel that happening. Maybe that means I'm getting better. But lately, I find myself thinking about this old shot. It's a picture of Greta, a writer, I took on my Canon AV-1 while we were bowling at a dear friend's birthday last Spring.



Probably something about the triangles.
