The Future Is Frightening

People ask me all the time what I plan to major in in college. And the answer is surprisingly not photography (as of right now). To tell you the truth, I don't know what I want to major in. I would love to minor in photography but in my opinion, I don't trust myself having it as my major. It may work great for other people but in case I decide not to have my own photography business, I would like to have a backup. I often think a business degree would be smart but that just sounds boring, although it may not be. Who knows? I've hated school all my life and I simply want to enjoy my classes for once. I want to love what I do. As Steve Jobs said in his commencement speech, you have to love what you do to succeed at it. It's a good thing I can be undecided right now but sooner or later, the time will come when I have to choose. And that scares me. Feel free to share with me what you plan to do with your life if you're entering college or are in college. I'd love to hear! :)

Setting all worries aside, we can enjoy my most recent roll of film. As usual, these are scans and they are crappy. I think the next time I'm going to order a disk. But anyway, here you go. The seventh and eighth photos from the top are the ones I was referring to in this blog post. :)

    1. Thanks so much, Jocee! Film is just something the digital camera can't replicate. :)

  6. most people don't get WHY i don't want to turn my hobby into something more. i say, i want my hobby to STAY my hobby...if i turn it into something that i used for a source of income/live off of, then part of the joy is taken away.

    also? i think i've fallen with film <3 these are amazing!
