Confessions of a Crappy Camwhore.
100.
100 is always a pretty good number.
100 cents to a dollar...
100 senators in Congress...
100 years in a century....
For whatever reason mankind came up with, 100 is a really solid number which seemingly holds some universal value.
Personally, I view 100 as a good base number because, for me, it's the amount of pictures I normally need to take in order to get a picture I like.
A picture.
As in... one.
And that is after hours of setting up and post process editing.
It's not really that I'm excessively picky or an insane perfectionist but the reality is that sometimes there aren't any nice pictures.
I suppose that's the big concept I've gained from 2011. Everything doesn't always work out perfectly and it might not work out on the 16th, 78th, or 126th attempt either.
The annoying reality is that some things just
don't work period.
But on the flip side, other ideas and modifications on the fly might work out wonderfully, perfectly, and easily.
It's always possible to get a nice picture. The question is if you can get it. If you can achieve it.
I believe it's an optimistic principal that applies to a good portion of life.
Things don't always go the way we plan and some of the things we plan truly fail miserably and repeatedly. But despite the failure of the initial or intended, there's always another option you can try if you're really willing. If you're willing to look for an alternative and TRY it.
2011 was really an experimental year.
A year full of friendship, smiles, and a disturbing amount of crying.
But overall, I regret nothing.
As a bonus, I also literally got some nice pictures.
On towards 2012!
