The Near End of "The Good Life"

My series of "The Good Life" is quickly coming to an end everybody.
I only have one photograph left to do after this one to close it all off.

If anybody has not caught on by now, I will explain the reasoning behind the journal and give you all a little insight on why I decided to do the photos I have done.

Okay, here goes...

The Good Life was an idea I had thought of right before school started for me late last fall.
I wanted to do a series of photos that had personal value and meaning in each and every photograph.
I have a facebook album called, "The Good Life." containing all of the photos you have seen me post since August of 2011.

I made this album for one good, simple reason.

I have been happy with myself and my life since then.
My girlfriend, Rachel, played a big role in the reasons why I was finally at peace and happiness with myself.

I am not saying I will quit posting photos symbolizing my happy life by any means.

But there are some days where I do not fully express real emotions.

It won't be a new me, but my outlook on photography will be changing slightly for sure.

I can give more effort into photography and in this new outlook on photography, my viewers, hopefully, will see the change.

May I also add, I will be getting the Canon 50D soon.
The camera does not matter at all, but it will bring quality up which I don't mind a bit.

My final photo for this album is a conceptual idea I have had since I began photography. Began blipfoto...

I was always a happy kid, and for a couple years, after a couple bad heartbreaks of teen love, my mind tricked me into thinking I had no place in this world.

What I have come to realize, since the day I started on blip was that I was wrong. I really was. I do have a place here on this Earth.

I may not be the most amazing person. And people can choose to like me or not. That is up to them. I've realized I have enough people in my life to make me happy and I also realized that I have really always been happy, my mind just told me for about two years that I wasn't and I realized I really was. Just too lost in heartbreak to show my bundled up happiness.


What I'm getting at is, when The Good Life is gone, it will be somewhat of a portfolio. A memory.

And when it's over, I will display a full effort on photography.

I will also be changing my blipfoto journal name, I'll let all of my viewers know what it is before I change it.

So, that is "The Good Life" a little further in depth.

The closing photo to this won't be up for a little while so, just know I'll be a little while before I'm on blip because I strongly feel like I have to end The Good Life the right way.

Thanks again to everyone. It means so much.
