Dreams vs. Reality

      Sometimes I come up with excuses to go into Henry's just so I can talk to somebody about photography. Today I went in to rent a lens even though I probably can't actually afford to. I'm going to be saving up for a new lens, so I want to try a few that I've been looking at before hand.

     So, I have this little dream of mine, of being a photographer, but I have some realities I need to face. One, it's going to take a lot longer then I thought, and I need to be patient. Two, I have so much learning to do. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and take a nap.

     I didn't take any photos today that I was happy with but I wanted to share this little love story about Allan Gardens. Basically, I'm in love with Allan Gardens. It's in my neighbourhood and I'm looking forward to photographing it with a super wide angle lens. Thing is, my camera has a cropped sensor, and it's hard to get the wide angle shot. This problem plagues me, I have horrible dreams where I'm camera shopping but I can't afford a full frame camera. That's real life actually.

    I hate having so many ideas for photoshoots and being limited by my equipment. Why did I have to pick such an expensive profession? It makes things ten times harder. I'm getting that napping feeling. Anyway, I'll get there, it'll just take time. One step at a time. Just have to keep learning as much as I can in the interim.
