Back to Basics: My Inspiration Retreat

I showed you mine. Now you show me yours.

When I had a near nervous breakdown at a bus stop, blabbing about how my life makes no sense, about how I am never focused on one thing, and how I'll ruin my future, my very wise friend said, “You’re being too hard on yourself. You should just take a break, figure things out. You have to wait for the answer sometimes.” Then I realized, she was right! I’d been driving myself crazy with all kinds of expectations: for the future; how I should spend my times; scheduling my free time; etc. 

Beach Photoshoot, Summer of 2011

Yet another thing on my bucket-list. 

It's never too late to suck!

All right, it's not so much a photoshoot as it is my attempt at capturing the right moment. And every artist knows, be it painter, or writer, or ballerina, that the right moment is anything but easy to capture. In photography, it's not just about the right angle and light. Sure, these help. But as I see it, it's also about feeling. 

(F4) Which One Are You: Writer or Artist?

(Meet Dan. Yes, he is crazy.)

Dan Cavallari is a man of many talents. Apart from being a freelance writer and photographer, he plays the guitar and has recently published his first novel called Confusing the Seasons, which is a bitter-sweet account of a man’s life after he had lost his wife. In addition, Dan makes the whole social media concept seem so easy, what with working, blogging, tweeting, and amassing a Facebook fanbase. 

Not too bad for a man who almost crashed his bicycle into a moose once.
