Random Thoughts

The end is the same for all of us - it is the drive that we control...

Not sure where I read this or if it might be the confluence of several ideas in my head. I also listen to a good deal of music as you can tell so just possibly...also that voice inside me is acting up again.

Vision and passion - no slick tactic will ever make up for passion....Trying to be good at something is difficult at best - there is no talent fairy who sprinklers us with dust...but how do you get the craft to mirror your passion? How does the vision get to fruition - I would guess one lets the dream and passion dictate the path.

Some days I feel close to the path and on other days I feel like it is simply not there. I travel allot and study at various workshops but seem to lose concentration for great periods of time when it is time to do the work. Is it fear of completion - I am starting to think all the traveling and workshops is masking my fear of whether the work is good enough to print, or even good enough at all - I do come across many photographers who do not make prints but to me that is like writing a symphony and never hearing the orchestra play the finished product.

I am thinking the question is not whether ''we are good enough' but 'do we want it enough'. Hence the quote at the top of the page....stay tuned....
