I've been taking some of my own photos for stock images. Its been a particularly fulfilling creative act. For a while now I've been relying on stock images or photos taken by others. Though both of those have their own benefits, I'm really enjoying a new approach to increasing my image database.
The reflection ball in the garden at mom's.
When I came home from work yesterday, this is what I saw out my bedroom window.
My roommates spent all day filling this new garden with new soil. They had put the border together a week or two ago, and have been growing some seeds in trays for a few weeks now. Almost before I knew it, things are ready to be put in the ground and now, look! There's some beautiful soil for them to go in. They inspire me to be less talk and anticipation, and more action and revelry.
I think a lot about growing stuff, but rarely actually make it out with shovel and seeds in hand ready to get dirty. There always seems to be plenty of stuff for me to do inside and then the sun goes down and its time for dinner and bed and maybe I will get to it tomorrow. There is something to be said about doing now for what will fruit later. It takes a certain level of just enjoying the doing part.
So I am trying to do more for the sake of just doing, and not doing purely out of expectation of the fruits of the doing. I'm working on putting that home-grown salad that I may or may not be eating in a few months out of mind and just start enjoying digging in the sun.
