I'm on my third to last page of this notebook! And then I have to switch over to my blue one, which doesn't really have much space to write in either.
So anyways, today I took another one of those once-in-a-while solitary photography walks. I think I took quite a few aesthetically please photographs, just to make up for the weeks of continuously effortless photographs that I've been using for my 365 project.
By the way, I don't really like taking photographs on a large/busy street, unless I'm in the city or something, which, most of the time I am not. So I'll just go into a neighborhood or a school to walk around and stuff, where it's nice and quiet. Today I went to the backyard of my former Chinese school building, and they don't tend to the plants and wildlife that grow their much, but I think because of this, it actually looks quite beautiful - the vines growing over the fences and the mini field of grass.
And then I kept walking and came by the building of a local church. I started going towards the back of the church, and then realized that I had the parking lot all to myself! And along the sides and borders of the parking lot, there were also very pretty plants growing all around, so I took a lot of photographs in that area... and then headed toward the rich neighborhood behind it.
And then I stopped in front of this house with really pretty white and purple flowers, and began to squat down to take some photographs, until this ghetto-looking car started honking at me for no reason so then I hurried and home and the rest of the pictures I took were hurried and not very pretty.
I've told this to Yahni before, that the world looks very different in the eyes of a photographer. Anything can become the subject of something really artistic. And once you get more into photography, everything thurns into patterns, lines, geometric shapes, or just something indescribable. You start to notice the little detail of many things, as well as the big picture of certain scenery. Photographs can also be used to get across messages. And basically, for me, depending on where I am, the world can then be viewed as an extremely majestic or very horrid place - which is why I mostly stick to nature photography because nothing in the wildlife that God has created can be labeled as "horrid".
Yeah... it's getting kind of obvious that I'm just trying to fill up the last page of this notebook.
Okay! So last page...
My mom as returned home! Yep - for the past few days my sister and I have been living on our own, which is why I decided not to cut my nails, just in case that if we happened to be in any kind of danger, I could scratch some eyeballs out, hehe. I need to cut them later tonight though they're getting awfully long and I can't really play the piano well.
Hey I just realized that it's een exactly a month since I started writing in this! Cool~ I hope I can keep this up for a long time.
And today I didn't go to church. For the past few weeks, every time I went it just felt like a bore to me, but I know it's just the devil trying to mess around with me. So now that I've recognized it, he'd better back off. But in some ways I feel real disappointed in my church. I can't really explain why - except that I know every church isn't perfect, as though spiritually we belong to Heaven, on this Earth we are still human, and have countless flaws. And today because I didn't go to church, my sister didn't feel like going either. But she has not gone for like a month, so now I feel bad.
What a way to end this notebook. And I hate short, stubby pencils.
