Anand, For years I've had a problem taking everything too seriously. Not that you, or anyone else for that matter, are interested in my life story, suffice it to say that photography allows me the escape to be the person I want to be, to explore and create, to empty my mind of wordly concerns and fill it instead with the moment. This list has also afforded me with this opportunity. I don't contribute much, but I gain everything, and it is a comfort to me to know there are people I care about yet have no attachment to whatsoever save the camera in our hands.
To achieve, or to "do something in life", I think one must keep one's mind open to the possibilities of creation. In my job and my wordly life I'm always too focused on the outcome, and not enough on the path to fulfillment. I don't mean to sound like a wuss. I just like to take pictures. Keeps me out of trouble. The PDML is like my after-school playgroup. I think I need a drink. Chris Anand chastised: ups ! did i read you correct ? are you saying not to take yourself too seriously ? to achieve something, to do something in life (!?) one has to take it seriously, right ? simplest thing - exposure - one has to think on it to understand it so that you could take better pictures. am i wrong ? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
