Wandering Aimlessly

Last weekend I completed my goal of wandering randomly for 34 years. Since Ben wasn't feeling well, we decided it would be fun to go out for a drive and have him take a nap. We had no idea where we were heading and after a while we decided to visit the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute since we happen to be heading that general direction. It's actually a nice museum with an emphasis on Native Americans of the Northwest. On our way back I noticed that the sun was going to briefly peak between the clouds off in the distance so we pulled off the main road to take pictures, yet the moment lasted about 45 seconds. I attempted to take a picture of Joey yet the sun had disappeared and immediately filled the sky with a rich magenta. Since I had lost my backlight I placed my speed light behind Joey and was excited to see how it froze the rain in mid air. I am excited to try this method once again, perhaps with an umbrella.

Maybe one day

It's hard to decipher what career path to take just out of high school. For one, I wasn't aware that graphic design was even an option until visiting Walla Walla College. When I enrolled in the program I enjoyed it but as my final year approached, I began to wondered if designing was truly the career I wanted to choose. I enjoyed it but wasn't passionate on the idea of sitting all day and constantly coming up with ideas. There isn't much repetition in that field of study and it involves sitting alot.

It was until I took research writing that I realize I wasn't passionate on any subject. Honestly, I wasn't. My excitement for Jeeps, American Automobiles or National Parks has unfolded in the recent years. Although I have enjoyed nature photography for sometime now, it sure is an expensive competitive field to enter. So I was still undecided by the time I finished school.

Currently I am working for Wilkinson Baking Company at Super 1 foods. It isn't a fancy job, but I'm happy and proud of the work I do. Yet I do feel that someone with a bachelor degree should be elsewhere making more money, however, what happens when you have a degree and you're still undecided? Fortunately, Paul (my brother in law), gave me the idea of being Classic Car photographer since I like taking photographs and I'm passionate about antique cars. It's an idea. In fact, it's a great idea.

So for right now I'll continue working where I'm at. Maybe in the future I can attend college once again.
