My Tech Muse was inspired by technology influencing the way we become creative. To enhance our work nowadays, technology seems to play a part whether it is to retouch, colorize or build a seamless composite.
She is beautiful, grounded in her talent, free to think yet electrifying and somewhat unnatural at the same time.
Haven’t worked on my photos in a long time. I have so many opportunities to practice, but new gear should be a good insentive!
I can look at myself in the mirror countless times and see the same person but not really.
A friend and I were talking about how friendships have changed over the years because, well, life happens. I can’t stress about it much because I know I’m probably not the person others saw me a year or two ago. But sometimes I look back and can’t help but miss the people that were themselves back when. You can’t change a person but you can definitely change yourself.
I ask myself, do we celebrate the changes or not?
I wish I had this women’s power and speed!
I love this vid!
Thanks to sonia-gil for sharing this in my replies! This was how she ran today for her workout, we we gotta give some props for that. Crazy!
I have to admit, I’m pretty lucky to be in the position that I am. I have a full time job, I health benefits, I get to travel and go to school all at the same time. I am experiencing life in the best way possible. I’m not married yet, and I’m not a parent except to my dog Bella.
Although I get to do all these great things, I’ve let go of a lot of other things. For one, I haven’t been able to further build on the relationships that I already have, like the one with my family. The other, taking a step back from my community work. This one (community work) has been difficult, and a part of me feels guilty for not being there. With the work that I already do in the non profit world, I feel like there’s not enough of me to go around. I know some will have an opinion on this but, I have to take care of myself and do what works in my lifestyle right now.
Now being a student is both rewarding and challenging. Imagine being a 26 year old woman in a class full of fresh-out-of-highschool kiddies who got their talents down. I’m not like them. They got to pursue their dream to be in the creative world at a ripe age, I’m just going back to it hoping that I have the energy and skill to get a great design by the time its due.
TANGENT: This totally reminds me of Jazz Band and how it was so hard for me to improvise on the piano because I was taught to always be precise and never stray away from the “right” way.
Ai ya, lets see if I can do this.
“In prison, every time we complained about our conditions, the guards would immediately remind us of comparable conditions at Guantanamo Bay,” he said. While the hikers don’t believe American policies “justify what has been done to us,” he said, “We do believe that these actions on the part of the U.S. provide an excuse for other governments, including the government of Iran, to act in kind.”
