Something Else

When it feels like you should be doing something different with your life, where do you start changing it?

People are born with gifts.

Some are lucky enough to do what they are meant to be doing, get a good job, be successful, make lots of money. The investment bankers, the consultants, the lawyers. The recession came to shake things up a little bit. I think it's the world's way of saying "Fuck you!" to the money-makers, to remind people that money isn't everything, and that it can't buy happiness but it can definitely take it away from you. People are so preoccupied with becoming rich that they have forgotten who they are, and they forget to look inside them from time to time to see who's lurking in there, in the shadows.

It could be someone amazing.

Which brings me back to my point. If you find out who you want to be, what you want to be, if you manage to remember where you came from, and who you are, and where you want to go, how do you set about following your track? There's one thing I know for sure: I'll keep taking photographs, even if it kills me.
