*sigh*

Wed Oct 7, 2009, 1:29 PM
[ having typed a whole journal log, and then... *poof!* all gone... Grmbl, computer... ]
Well, the story was something like this:

In my previous journal I mentioneed that yippy, it was holidays! Now I would have lots of time to upload lots of pictures!
One summer later... mhh, no picture uploaded here...
It wasn't because of a lack of time (I'm right now having waay less time for things like this than in the summer - but that's for another philosophy chapter). It probably has more to do with looking up against this huge heap of pictures, making me to hesitate to sort them all out, leave alone uploading here.

I've figured out there's some solution to this: taking photographs more consiously.
with this I mean: I should keep in mind what I want to do with this picture, while making it: Is it just because of the nice colours? Or because of the setting? Or do I want to show this to someone? Or do I like the picture, because of the picture? (See my 'something different- journal' about that.)
If I don't think I will do anything with the picture (uploading it here or somewhere elso, showing it to someone, printing it, or whatever), Maybe, I shouldn't take the picture...

How do you guys think about this? Sounding familliar or too much trouble? Already practitioning it, or consecuently avoiding this way of thinking? Or...?
I'm just curious to know.

For the moment, I won't say something like "I'm Back" again, 'cause I don't know if I am (or will be).
Not that I'm depressed or something, or dislike this site (How could I? I've learned so much of all the people here on DeviantArt!)
It's just... I can't see in future.
But I do hope to upload some pictures again here in the near (or not-so near) feature. I guess I have to accept that it just won't be on a regular basis.


Edit: I´ve deleted a lot of my messages - ooold comments, and critiques and newsaricles and journals i´ve already read. And also a lot I haven´t read. I´m sorry for that, but it was just too much. Now that I´ve got a lot less, I hope to keep track of all the new incoming messages a little better. (And therefore being better able to respond to you too...)

And not a moment escapes the good Lord's eyes
This world tries to tell you there's no answer
But if true love is real, that must be a lie..."
