Absorption

It's been a while since I've written for this blog. I figure I need to commit to short notes and just keep them regular, instead of focusing on doing something lengthy that is less likely to happen or be enjoyable. 
I believe that to be truly good at something most people need to be really absorbed in it, or have a natural talent. Personally, I'm easily distracted, but I find that some hobbies are just too good to not do regularly. For some people, hobbies can become obsessions, even vocations and photography no exception. I can see why some people quit their regular jobs to make photography a vocation. It does so much in enriching your life - you develop a different world-view, you develop patience, you develop a new philosophy. It truly enriches your life, especially if you can see it as creative expression.
