A few months ago, I wrote about how I felt like I was losing the drive to be a photographer... well, thanks to a trip to London when I was in the UK, and finishing the post-production on a shoot from October... I'm feeling a lot better about my future as a photographer and as an artist. I go through bouts of depression. Sometimes it spurs on some amazing art... and sometimes, it throws me into a spiral where my camera gets to sit in its bag for days, weeks, or months afterwards. I'm going to make it a point to get my camera out at least once a week and take some photos... even if it's just of the birds or plants in my backyard, I don't care at this point. I have got to keep myself going. I plan on purchasing some filters and I want to get a macro kit to transform my current lens into a macro lens. I love taking detailed photos, and it's hard to do with the old 18-105mm on its own. I can't afford a macro lens... why do they have to be so bloody expensive?! Ack... it sucks.

I vow to work harder on my photography, on my art. I vow not to let a bout of depression send me into a tail spin where I give up on everything. I want to produce art that makes a person go "huh... that's cool!"... and possibly sell some art too.
