cynicism

“All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.  Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get.  But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”  ~ Conan O’Brien

What truly is the product of working hard and being kind? I like it, in an ideal world….but somehow can’t wrap my brain around it.

Photo class was great tonight.  I was antsy and uncomfortable to show my teacher my contact sheets.  I wasn’t sure what he would think of the images I took last weekend. Ultimately it truly doesn’t matter what he thinks, as long as I produce quality.  I managed to produce 3 images tonight.  I think I’ve narrowed down what images I want to do for the photo show.  I’m totally ready to dive in and go big with my images.  They’re odd.  They’re filled with a lot of substance.  Substance and meaning that I won’t share.  I’ll let the viewer come up with their own conclusion.  I’m not sure where I’m going with this, but I’m going to run with it.
