Lately I’ve been making an effort to take my beloved Canon 550D out more often so I can push myself outside of my comfort zone and perhaps become a better photographer.

On Sunday it was a lovely day and I decided to visit one of our local parks.  There was a bit of a catch, though, because this park was completely submerged and battered to hell in the Queensland January 2011 floods.

Critiques and suggestions would be appreciated.

What have I been doing, besides neglecting my blog?

Work, work, work.  The past couple of weeks I went on a bit of a spending spree – new clothes, Canon 550D SLR, 32” LED TV, etc… You catch my drift.  It’s good, but now I have so many boxes to sort through.

I also tried vlogging, only to discover I’m terribly boring on camera and don’t have anything interesting to talk about.  All this lack of sleep just makes me look like a zombie on camera anyway.

Insomnia is nasty, but it also gives me the opportunity to watch anime and sit around drawing creepy sketches of birds. It’s not as bad as some people I have come in contact with, that’s for sure.  I do love it when people with sad little lives underestimate me, but I think it’s just my own internal satisfaction.

I’m pretty certain I should write a book – but where to start, and what about?  I figure it’ll come to me with time.  I’ve already started making random notes in a sketchbook I bought at the beginning of the year.

This sketchbook also contains all the work I’ve done towards practising portraiting (did I just make up a word?).

Maybe one day I’ll be the artist, musician, teacher, writer, gamer, photographer, singer I want to be.  People mistake my habit of practising these skills as being lazy and messy, specifically, my mother.  Some people just don’t understand how the creative mind ticks.

My time will come, or so I like to believe.
