Hang is No Van Gogh

Note: Frances painted the island with the blue footed boobies, and I drew those weird looking animals. Long and the kids painted the rest.

Whenever I see pretty landscapes or something interesting, I always wished I could draw it or paint it. I've always wished I could paint beautiful things, and give it to people as presents. My favorite presents are the ones that people paint or make for me. As I grow older, I realize that those dreams will always go unfulfilled. I can only draw stick figures and they are usually very childish. 

Frances on the other hand can draw, paint, and sketch really well. I've always envied her artistic abilities. She's so crafty that I've always wanted to be her. I want to be able to translate what I see onto paper. 

I think that's why I love photography. It doesn't require you to be able to draw. The goal is to capture the beauty onto print. Photography lets me be "artistic" without having the ability to draw. I can't imagine a hobby that I would love more.

Photography just knows how to make my heart sing. It's what I live for (among other things). I just need a DSLR camera. That way I could take beautiful pictures all the time...
