positively getting older

Though the earlier post maybe negative there are positives to getting older.

1. Being comfortable wearing a jacket when on a night out is one. Off I used to go dressed in the latest fashion shirt, hair all done with the rain pissing down and a force ten gale blowing. But you know what now I am gonna wear a jacket and sod it whether I look right or not at least I am warm
2. The ability not to worry too much about stuff.  You have learned what ever happens very rarely does life stay bad that and you cant do anything about it so don't bother trying to change the inevitable. I am not talking about revolution with placards and sh*t just normal life. 
3. You also realise that so far you have probably embarrassed yourself so many times already that the thing you are doing now is no worse than that so meh!!
4. You also develop a taste for learning and generally about stuff you hated when you were younger. Mine is geography, more generally people of the world. Think I realised about 5 or 6 years ago that as I didn't realise that Sri Lanka was an island and there is actually a country called Turkmenistan (No honestly there is, its there with a lot of other menistans around Russia sort of) 
5. I also love words and pictures and this was part of the reason of getting into photography. As I have said on other postings, I want to be artistic but part of me needs to be good at everything I do, not the best but good. I love listening to song lyrics because a large percentage of them are personal too the performer and tell how that person felt at that moment in time. Obviously Im a Barbie Girl in a Barbie world doesn't fall into this category but even some of what people who are more deeply interested in music than I call 'complete and utter cod shit' have great words just poorer music. Change the music and you would start to perhaps understand what the writer meant.

That's what I want to try to put over in my photography. I am not looking to break new ground or be the next big thing. I am not looking to be anything other than myself. Hopefully I will learn how to and have the ability just tell you why at that moment in time I took that photograph. Keep you fingers crossed.
