I could have named this site “from here to there.” For it always seems my time for photos is squeezed in between going from here to there. Same with my time to write. But I still appreciate each very much. As one fellow blogger I follow (Down the Road by Jim Grey) wrote a post called “Few people make real money following their passions, and you probably won’t be one of them.” About having a primary job and your passion which most likely won’t pay the bills. But I feel it still can be a very special thing to follow your passion.

Yeah it can be lots of work. But I haven’t run into the point of asking myself why am I doing this. On the contrary I’m finding I want to do more, and I think I’m on the road to doing that. The more I read and view others blogs I realize I have a long way to go. But the journey I’m finding is the fun part.

I don’t worry about being embarrassed anymore. Well for the most part at least. I don’t think or worry about the limited tools I have, limiting my abilities. I fully appreciate the opportunity to create and learn at the same time. As I learn I come up with ideas and thoughts about future projects that I hope somehow might result in some sales but it’s not what drives me.

Because success is defined in many different ways. Hell success might just come after I pass which it does for a far number of people. Success is someone enjoying my work or making them think. Success is having something I feel positive about doing. Success is a comment. Success if making someone pause and smile. And one day success will be the difference between someone saying to me “That’s Nice” vs “Can I get that.”

So here’s to continued hard work and opportunities to do it each day and happiness along the journey.
