and it was, like, 200 pictures taken yesterday. as I've said before, I feel intrusive taking pictures of people, I'll have to work on that. I think the greater part of the pictures that I take, I do so without reference to the viewfinder. I like relinguishing some of my directive, which is a good poetic lesson, I fancy. I don't think I will ever consider myself a photographer, no matter how many pictures I take. I'll stay in the realm of interested gathering, just as I've found myself collecting beach pebbles, paper clips, matchbooks, things on the ground. again, poetic lesson, leastwise for me.
