(I've decided that because Frances hasn't posted in awhile, it would be safe to assume you know who I am without having to put my name in the title. Hopefully she'll write something soon though. *hint hint*)
What would you be if you could be anything you wanted to be?
I often think about what I want to be.
If I didn't have to be rational. If I didn't have to be reasonable. If I didn't have to be practical. If I didn't have to be logical. If I didn't have to be realistic.
I would be a traveling photographer for National Geographic.
But I don't think that's very probable because: I lack the skills, the connections, and I'm not exactly very social.
But if I was... I'd be a fantastic photographer. I'd be documenting the struggles of the Middle East, the poverty of Africa, and the children who has to work for pennies in Asia.
The way people deal with hardship is fascinating. They have amazing stories, and are wise beyond their years. I cry a little every time I see a heartbreaking picture. From the slums of India to the breath taking view of Iceland.
A picture has a way of transporting you to a completely different place. It has the ability to make you laugh until you have to pee or weep from sadness. I just wish I had the ability to take pictures that made a difference.
Even though I have a great appreciation for photography, I also have a deep love for Geology. I even enjoy law. I probably will never be a photographer, but I'll still be able to do something I enjoy. :)
