so photography is a passion of mine, and i've realized that i am truly happiest when i'm taking pictures... i've been in a bit of a slum this past week and a half, and after i was asked by lexi yesterday i f i had taken any pictures for my 365 picture a day project... and i hadn't. and i realized that those that i had been shooting, weren't fun, active, random, engaging, lifestyle shots. but they were pictures taken, just to get the shot in for the day. So today, i had my camera with me, and stopped to drop something off with a friend of mine in the library, ALISON!! :-), and she had on these green chucks with here legs up on the table... SUCH a photo-op! OMG! so i took a few shots, and was talking to her about a photographer that i look up to
Jason Q Tran amazing photographer, and his style. so i decided to try and use his style really quick since i had a model, we took a few pics, and i kept playing with her shoes and such, and just had a good time, doing what i love! THEN i saw jason, a composition major, who i've seen carrying around his "canvass" or sheet music with him, and i'd been wanting to shoot him, doing what he does best. i thought it so cool, because his the sheet music is his "canvass" of choice, like a painters is an actual canvass, mine is life in general and my environment... and i had so much fun... i actually feel better now! like, my whole persona, personality and mood has changed... it's just something about doing what you love, especially when it's a talent that God has given you... and on top of all of that... THE SUN IS OUT... THE CLOUDS ARE GONE!!!... BLUE SKIESS!!!! SUN RAAYYYSS!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS! :-) REJUVENATION!!... take home lesson... always make time in your schedule for that which you truly enjoy, or your life will end up lifeLESS!

I totally agree with you on this one! Like you, if I don't spend some time each day doing what I love (cooking, photography, writing), I feel "off kilter" - so, I am glad you are learning this lesson early. God will truly bless you - He gave you the talent - use it! Enjoy! Thanks for sharing.
