As a person that documents his daily life, it’s been very hard to rationalize a large chunk of it being worthless.  It makes you feel like an idiotic person, but worse yet, like a panderer.  That’s what my art has felt like for months now, like I have been pandering to someones insecurities and nothing else, nothing more.

It felt like a giant waste of time, just like life itself did.

This art form is weird for that reason.  I have entire years worth of work that used to make me proud as an artist.  That’s the only word to explain it.  Pride.  I used to look at certain photo sets like they were more than just pictures, but rather, extensions of myself as a human being.  What does a guy do when those memories are invalidated, when the photos make him sick to look at?

For a few months I’ve been estranged from my camera.  I didn’t even bother fixing it when it broke until I was bored one night and had nothing better to do.  That’s just not like me.  I’m generally a lazy person but not when it comes to my craft.  For some reason I felt just as betrayed by it as I did by the people in the photos themselves.  I guess I was making a false correlation.

And that’s why I haven’t really been around much lately.  I’ve been learning new ways to express myself outside of photography.  I think I’ve been coming to terms with falling out of love with photography too.  

I woke up this morning and felt like an idiot, though.  I already gave up enough, wasted enough of my days, there is no reason to punish myself further.

And anyway, I’m a damn solid photographer.

Somebody That I Used To Know // Elliott Smith

“I know you don’t think you did me wrong
And that I can’t stay this mad for long
Keepin’ a hold of what you just let go
You’re just somebody that I used to know.” 

Love youuuu.

Another Day.

and now I’m a skinny dude that wears sweaters all the time because I’m self-conscious about how thin I am.

Bleh.

The amount of work that goes into this is absolutely insane.

Over 60 hours of work and two minutes of a result.

And even that needs work. 

I feel really good about myself lately, though.  It feels good to learn something new and remember that you still don’t know shit in the long run.

It’s all very exciting.  I hope you guys like this. 

Not lying.  He’s gonna have a Fox news poster, too, for added pun-age.

If you feel like your craft is getting stale, no matter what it is, just switch your style up.  Make yourself uncomfortable.

It’s fun!
