Regret or Not

I have not put on a blip for over a week, sorry, it was not because I haven't been taking photos but it is because I have not felt like it.
I lost a memory card of a week of fun, it fell out of my camera, I was devastated for a period. However then I thought photography is a hobby I have, I may be passionate about it, but the whole week did not exist because I lost a memory card. I have thought of the importance of taking photos and why I do it and I have not come to a resolution just yet.
I have thought that I took most of the photos to have rep of being a photographer so i would be noticed and respected, that is not the truth, I have thought I took those photos to put on Facebook and show friends. I don't want that ether that would make me a person who becomes more confident because of how many friends they have. Or a person who counts a 'like' or a 'view' as a steroid, leaving them feeling stronger or addicted to fame. I don't want to be that. I am fine with anyone who does want that, but I, myself, do not want to take photos for that. I also thought I could be taking photos to improve my photography, that may be true but there is no passion in that, there is skill but it heartless photography. I need to think. Why should I care I lost my photography of a holiday?


There is more to photography than taking a picture. That is what makes a picture you take precious.

But isn't a memory a more personal photograph?

The truth is in a photograph, but what really happened is in your mind.


"Don't ruin today by worrying about yesterday's problem. Yesterday won't ever come back, just make the best of today." Wasn't me.



If you read all this, I hope you understand and maybe think for yourself, Are you are happy?
