i don’t know how i got on the particular thread but i think it came from looking at a couple of portfolios on alt.pick. one lead to another and i am knee deep in very interesting photography. the serious fun stuff that makes me think and kick myself in the ass for not making myself think hard enough. there are times i feel very frustrated in the role that i have postion myself to be in and wonder of the opportunity cost of being comfortable. after seeing other people work, i am more annoyed with myself because i have a point of view but i’ve sold it to a bunch of consumers that could care less. invariably i am torn by by culivating the unseen and polishing the known. i would think by this conjecture in the path that i would have made up my mind by now and run along without looking back. instead, i walk 10 steps in one path, run back 15 steps and walk 12 steps in the other path. i do this until i am exhausted by the exercise. then i will collapse and wake up to find that i was in the wrong forest.
