I’ve been doing a bit of reflecting lately - proper reflecting not just putting myself down and learning from it - about who I am and why, what do I do and what do I contribute to existence other than consuming like the rest of society and being another statistic in the degradation of the planet.
In the span of a few days I have taken up photography as a more active hobby, and a deliberate one. 6 weeks ago I bought my camera and I had taken 1200 photos, about 80 of those I considered nice. Which I suppose does make sense because I did start of with a really point and click mentalit…

I’ve been doing a bit of reflecting lately - proper reflecting not just putting myself down and learning from it - about who I am and why, what do I do and what do I contribute to existence other than consuming like the rest of society and being another statistic in the degradation of the planet.
In the span of a few days I have taken up photography as a more active hobby, and a deliberate one. 6 weeks ago I bought my camera and I had taken 1200 photos, about 80 of those I considered nice. Which I suppose does make sense because I did start of with a really point and click mentality. I am still yet to do a full trip around town and think about what every single thing says to me and deliberate to capture a photo for that meaning in the best way I can.
Also, a few days ago, I signed up for Instagram. Which is not really a thing I would expect me to do. I have historically been against the concept of standard algorithm based social media, but also Bearblog is not particuarly great at managing images so that doesnt work as a photography display.
11 months ago I developed and published a video game and just holy shit my creative expression has taken an abrupt shift in that time. What was once programing and game development and drawings and random messes in Blender has turned into photography, drawings, and an improvised DnD campaign.
It is nice to just state things for once instead of abstracting them, or trying to show a meaning from this - there isn’t one, which I guess is just as much as a meaning as anything I would overwise try to express.
I have been fairly busy lately. A few days ago I finally found a calendar app that I like and I put all of the things I had coming up into it. It is tweek.so if your interested.
Yesterday I had something planned for every part of the day. I had a speech to give at my school, an excursion to an old paddle steamer in town and I was designated student photographer for ‘GrandFriends’ day at my school - it is when everyone is meant to invite theyre grandparents and adult friends to see what they are up to in school. And that night my history teacher also needed me to take some photos of the main street in town because we are researching the history of our town.
Compared to what I have been up to I havent been blogging much about it. I hope that will change this weekend.
