Lunar Rover

The best opportunities are the ones taken with disastrous results.  To fail at such a level previously unacknowledged, to become so fetal.  Cleansing the proposed wrongs, only two discovered some don't want to right.  Loving those whom don't love you back, or do so such as urban gentrification; displacement.  A disconnect from the world in hopes to escape all others but your own and discovering why you logged on in the first place.  Some, such as myself, were put on this Earth in hopes of accomplishing dreams.  Yet nothing of this dream is owed, nor is it a reward.  Earnest is either running out of incorrect approaches or tiring the opponent of his challenges.  There is no honor in this as some have received none.  So left are we, forever to roam the planet, and one day others, in search of what is not owed or deserved but delivered through unmatched persistence to quench, without remorse.  Those challengers, them; are left only to wonder how on Earth, and one day others, are left free, for their Rome destroys.

You're No Jack Kennedy

So the purpose of this blog is to discuss why I never have a camera with me.  I have gotten strange looks about this as I am a professional filmmaker/photographer.  Why not perpetuate what I love in my own life?  Why not capture the few memories that I am able to make for myself? 

Really the only reason I ever have a camera in my hand is because I am getting paid to have it there.  Now along with that comes the responsibility to edit the piece in to the memory or story that is desired from the client.  Editing is always a responsibility, even if it is your own memories.  This issue with this is that we have plenty of paid work that needs yet to be accomplished.  As such it makes no sense to work on my personal memories when there are paying customers waiting patiently on theirs'.

Now this is where the Jack Kennedy quote comes in; I just don't feel like stopping to take a picture of my own life while I am living it.  When I am out and about with the little time that I can summons, I want to envelope myself in that moment and not worrying about whether I will remember it later or not.  If someone else were present with a camera I am definitly not going to tell them to leave me alone.  If they want to take a picture than that is just fine with me.  But if you  look at the image of Mr. Kennedy above (or any picture for that matter), he doesn't seem to be to concerned with pictures.  In my opinion he appears to be too wrapped up in what he is doing:  Having fun.  That my friends, is the only way to enjoy life.  You need pictures?  Hire somebody.
