The best thing about a photograph is that it never changes... even if the people in it do. -Andy Warhol

Light Bulb.



One of the greatest feelings in the world is the feeling that you get when you come up with a really great idea. That first moment when all of your thoughts align and you suddenly come up with something amazing and you can do nothing to stop a little smile from creeping across your face. Speaking as someone who likes to thrive on carrying out these brilliant ideas, the only feeling that can come close to touching that of the initial concept is the satisfaction that you feel after carrying it out.

Since the beginning of this year I have found that I have very little time to do the things that I really enjoy. I have been forced to dedicate my time to school and my job with the little remaining time used to sleep in an attempt to recharge my battery in order to start all over again the next day. But recently, with the last stretch of the school year approaching, I have begun to have more and more time to do things that I find interesting.

There is rarely a moment that the gears in my brain are not churning with ideas for photo shoots, graphics, drawings, etc., and amid my thoughts today my brain stumbled upon an idea for a shoot. Now, this idea is something that I will not disclose here until I complete it… but nevertheless it does not change my excitement. The thought of finally having a new idea for something that I can create that I will actually be proud of.

Now, maybe you’re reading this and know exactly what I’m talking about or maybe you have absolutely no idea… but what are your thoughts on this? What ideas have you had that have excited you?

  1. I definitely love this feeling. I mean who wouldn't like it when they know they have just figured out something, or when someone has thought of something out of the ordinary or revolutionary in whatever they are doing. It feels remarkable. Especially when you know that it has a good possibility of working. Like when I was writing my research paper this year. All I remember is that once I started writing everything just started to flow, and once I was done I felt amazing because I just created a masterpiece... or at least I think it is haha. I know where you are coming from though Lindsey. I, too, have been swamped with work from my constant business. I mean baseball has consumed my life and has given me no time to do anything that I enjoy. My day basically consists of school, baseball, eating, and sleeping; and it's the same thing every day. So I'm glad you are finally getting some time to work on your photo shoots, something that you actually enjoy. I won't be able to do that until baseball season is over in late May, but until then I shall persist and strive forward like I always have.

  2. With a lot less pressure on things I have began to finally chill out for once. Accepted to college, grades are basically final, and I have already decided I am not going to study for APs. I am done with the work and planning to go out and play. Doing Volleyball with friends definitely was a great decision I did not get to do with the hastles of last year. This year being less busy I get to play and possibly get a state championship. Its a great feeling that we are nearing the end.
