I think I’ve started to fall helpless to the same symptoms. I agree with you here. I’m always trying to take on new and exciting things, partially for its novelty but it starts getting overwhelming. Maybe I just want more than science and photography (working on the videos but I think that’s an extension of photography)

4. I wanted to say thanks again for such an awesome week. I know we were on the go the whole weekend but I hope it was relaxing enough compared to your usually “optimized” routine. Btw, Julie and I should come visit in the spring. Just throwing it out there =)

5. From a photographer’s perspective, I seem to encounter this frequently. For example, I find myself going back to visit Huntington Library (it just so happens that it’s with a different girl each time) a lot. I’m always thinking, “how can I make this shoot different?” Granted, I think my photography has definitely evolved since last year and Tiffany’s first shoot but I think one of the keys to a fresh perspective is the people you go with =) It’s something I’m starting to investigate and I’m starting to allow the personalities of the people I’m with to dictate the types of shots I take rather than the other way around.

6. Right on brother. Those seldom instances I do take pause to appreciate my surroundings are refreshing whether it’s on the way to work or walking around the Cedar’s campus.

7. I can’t say too much here since I’m a bit guilty for impulse buying. But I will add that, as an extension of your philosophy, it’s also rewarding to buy something when you’ve felt that you’ve earned it and put sufficient effort in what you’re doing i.e. baby bear to mama bear to papa bear (over the course of two years)

14. I agree with you here. Maybe not as travel intensive as your schedule but juxtaposing science and photography has worn me out. I think ever since mid-October and my trip to Disneyland with Nancy, I’ve been shooting nonstop every weekend with the exception of one weekend. Not to mention videos on top of shooting. I think I need a break, phew…. at least until you come back =) Btw, we have to start planning that day soon. Another 2 South reunion/video???

15. We’ve been out for a while now but it’s still a pleasant article to read. I’m glad I discovered this notion prior to reading the article. It’s about the journey, not the destination =P

As always KFC, I look forward to these 15 lessons every month. Keep writing them because you’ll always have readers. See you in a week (or two?)
