Warning: Do not mingle wine and sushi. dangerous consequences will follow

Good Morning all,

Extremely hung over and yet still made it work on time.. you know why? mostly because i dont want to get fired and mostly because im awesome.

I was looking through a couple blogs yesterday and i noticed some amazing photographers putting up beautiful photo's.

I always wanted to be a photographer... Last time i said that outloud i got a few chuckles. im not a very serious person so usually if i mention something with a serious voice my friends tend to think im just being sarcastic.. but im dead serious about it.

My mom was an artist. well, still is technically, but i mean she used to actually do art, now shes in mutual funds, not exactly an artistic job description. She got into some high end art college when she was 18, but my grandfather was pretty old school and let her know that there was no reason for her to A. go to college because what she needed to do was get married and B. draw because what a waste of time that was. I can understand how difficult it must have been to convince him otherwise, my grandfather never seemed the type for convincing.

Anywho... she had a passion for photography as well, and never went ahead with it but she has this great camera hidden away somewhere. i used to play with it when i was a kid... it didnt have any film in it but i used to walk around the house, with its red strap around my neck, and stare at things through it all day.

I would sit on the front porch with my grandfather and people watch through the lens and just wait for something.. then when i saw what i was looking for id click the little button, all excited that i had captured something secretly. there was something really amazing about capturing a moment in time. people live forever in pictures. Theres something haunting and beautiful about that.

I think im going to find that camera.....
