Echoes of creation
Hey so I am still alive, pretty much entirely on facebook and insta now. Being a growed up takes up a lot of time in a household, no more 5 month summer holidays like back in uni days, which I did barely anything with...it's easy to waste time and I really wish I'd focused on my ideas, I barely pushed and those that ripped off my style have done a lot better. I had visited here a few times, although my outdated computer stopped showing the site properly for a while until it's recent update so now I can see things! I remember the active days here and I know I've neglected the page, lots of friends made have vanished or re-invented themselves without me - no fall outs I guess drifting apart can just happen. Still running around car shows taking pics, just got myself a prime lens which will help get the results I'd been aiming for, narrow focus is very handy for improving car shots. Car shows have a small window of interest so I've got to get them online within a day and try and
Team work
More happens in life when you have someone to share it with, wanting to experience new things and have some company. Shortly after that last whinge I met someone at last - nice guys do win, we just have to wait for the jerks to carry out a few years disappointing girls first ha - there was a fear once I'd settled into 'adulthood' that meeting someone new would be tricky, being in an all male industry and mostly male friends along with a pretty solid work-sleep-eat routine I realised I'd have to figure out how to find opportunity. I had begun to be a bit of a yes-man anyway, and that's really all it takes is to just do things - mates going pub
my quarter century this year
And what have I done in that time? A lot less than I had hoped, and sure as hell a lot less than pretty much everyone else by now. I could go on (and I did, but seen as really that would only be for my benefit I typed it all out and then deleted it...quite therapeutic)
18 months into the job, still reasonably happy in it, I do have a few issues with concepts of timescale and a complete misunderstanding of what designing actually involves which I'm starting to think is just part of the job for a designer to put up with. In other news I may have acquired a mini so look out for photos next year if things go smoothly, things are so cheap for min
fingers in ears
here i am typing to the audience of myself, deviations overlooked, activity unnoticed. this is more of a record of thoughts seeing as noone comes this way any more.
i am onto another job, my dream job so it seems, vehicles and graphics, couldnt ask for more. its amazing i got here and so easily i could have missed it, at the same time i was in the running for another job. that one was pretty much guaranteed, and easy if a little boring, plus the loo was practically in the middle of the office. it would have been like clark kent in a phone booth but with me emerging 20 mins later as captain IBS.
so i had that one and this new fancy one comes
