While I do find waterfalls and bridges interesting and entertaining, what I really love is photography. I love being able to capture a moment as I see it, overcome the difficulties of technology making something NOT as I see it, and producing something that is again, what I saw. I like that photography preserves memories but also helps to recall other's memories. For example, you may not have ever been to this waterfall that I took a photo of in Oregon, but that does not mean that it doesn't draw up any memory or feeling for you. I think photography is a pure art. There is a lot you can do now with digital photography and what not, but if you stick to the basics, it's all about what you see in the places around you and how you portray those places to other people. What angle struck you? How is this different from the angles that strike others? Photography is also so relaxing and makes you look at the details of life rather than just the big picture because it's the details that make the big picture so amazing.

Something I Hate
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold. ~AristotleI hate liars! This picture is applicable because it is my poor car after it was hit by a couple of girls in a rental car who, six months later, still can't tell the same story twice. I don't know how long it will be until I get my car paid for, but I swear I will get it paid for. I was not at fault in any way. The damage shows that. The fact that they have lied a thousand times shows they have something to hide. Why can't the just be good people and own up to what they did wrong? I feel like this is something that is applicable to SO many situations but SO few people follow through with it. Lying is just frustrating, wrong, and hurtful. In the end, when people find out the truth, it is going to be much worse for the liars because first there was something to lie about and second, obviously, they lied. I can't even express how frustrated I get when people lie. Just tell the frickin truth and everything will be better in the long run. For real. Just don't do it. It just pisses people off.
