Categories
I started using the category system here a while back. Now I struggle, almost every post, to try and decide what category it falls into. The pure techy ones aren’t too hard. But anything other than that and I struggle. Perhaps it’s because I don’t have enough categories, or maybe I’m having the same problem as libraries…

Creativity
It’s not that I don’t want to be creative, it’s just that I find it so hard. Sometimes I’ll have the idea in my head, but not be able to express it properly. Sometimes it’s that I don’t even have the idea. I think photographs though are an intersting one. I see lots of photos, webpages, blogs, real pics. Some I think are pretty amazing. Most impress me.

But I think they’re at an unfair advantage. I think I look at “new” pictures, pictures I’ve never seen before in a whole different light to ones I took myself. Perhaps it’s that when I take pictures I realise they’re a pale imitation of the real thing, or perhaps it’s just the wonderment of seeing something I’ve not seen before.

Either way it just doesn’t feel the same when it’s my photo.
