I used to be so god damn careless. The pinnacle of my carelessness came when I spilled 32oz of Gatorade on $1200 worth of photography equipment, I'm still paying for that day, even if it's not coming out of pockets. That was back in the all or nothing days when I was just doing what ever I felt like and had no regard for value or appreciation. That was the first time, EVER, that I really had to look at myself and be like, "Damn, you fucked up".
It's hard to believe that I started taking pictures sometime in October. That's when I still had my Mom's SLR and I would go to the beach to smoke and chill and just so happened to have a camera with me. It really just started with one photo. That was my "Woa" moment (not because I think it's a great picture). For me that was the first time I really thought about photography as an art.
Back then it was more about quantity and less about quality. I had my spots and my times everything else as far the technical aspects of photography didn't really come into play. When I broke my Mom's camera I was forced to go strictly film...
Wait, what the fuck, no one cares about this shit. Fuck!
